Choose the preferred language and exam centres

JEE Main 2021 will be conducted in 13 regional languages, unlike last year. Candidates can choose their preferred regional language if they wish to appear for the same. However, it is important to remember that the choice of regional languages can only opt for a particular state. For example, if candidates who are applying for the exam centre in Odisha can only opt for Odia as the medium of instruction and vice versa. Therefore, students must be extra careful while filling the choice of exam centre/city and the language.

Choice Filling for February, March, April and May exam

However, after discussion with the authorities, the Ministry of Education has decided to conduct four times this year for the benefit of the students. Candidates must note that they can fill four online JEE Main 2021 application forms separately or together and pay the application fees accordingly. If any candidate is unable to appear for the exam, the application fee will be refunded by the NTA after making a proper withdrawal request.

if a candidate wishes to apply only for one Session, then the candidate has to pay the examination fee only for that session during the current application period and will have opportunity to apply again for the remaining March/ April / May sessions.

The application window will be re-opened after the declaration of the result of February / March/ April Session.
