JEE Main 2021, CBSE Board Exams 2021 on same day? Students demand change in schedule

The CBSE 12^th exams 2021 are scheduled between May 4 and June 11. This year, the board, for the first time, has scheduled Class 12^th examinations in double shifts i.e. morning shift from 10:30 and to 12:30 pm and afternoon shift from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm. 

While speaking on the JEE Main 2021 dates, a class 12 student of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Kolkata who is preparing for board exams, medical and engineering entrance tests, told a media house that “I have taken physics, chemistry, biology, and maths so that I can be eligible to appear for both JEE and NEET 2021. While the schedule of NEET is not out yet, I thought my board exams will be over and I will be able to appear for JEE without skipping any test."

The computer science students are also unhappy with the date sheet as their subject paper will be held on May 29, a day after the JEE Main. Nikhil Chauhan, a student of Delhi Public School said the preparation for both the exams is quite different, and focusing on the engineering entrance test will impact his board exam scores.

According to the reports, 21.7 lakhs candidates have registered for the exam for multiple sessions of JEE Main 2021. This year, the JEE Main will be held in four phases –– February, March, April, and May.
