JMI Entrance Exam Day Rules and Guidelines 2020

The Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) Entrance Exam is set to commence from October 10, 2020, onwards and thousands of students from all over India have applied for admission to the courses offered at Jamia Millia Islamia. However, the main talking point will be appearing for the national-level entrance exam amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. With the COVID-19 cases in India continuing to rise, many students have raised their opinion on conducting the entrance exam in online mode (from home) or postponing the entrance exam.

Despite students being vocal, the majority of the students want to appear for the entrance exam and get it done given that the entrance exam is scheduled to be conducted from October 10 to November 22, 2020. Apart from the JMI Entrance Exam, various other national entrance exams have been conducted such as JEE Main, NEET, Delhi University Entrance Test (DUET) and JNU Entrance Exam (JNUEE).
