How delays in JEE (Main) and NEET will affect new academic session

JEE (Main) and NEET exam dates: How did the government decide the new examination schedule for JEE (Main) and NEET given there is no visibility on when the pandemic will end?

On Friday, the HRD Ministry announced JEE (Main) would now be conducted between September 1 and September 6, NEET on September 13 and JEE (Advanced) on September 27.


How did the government decide the new examination schedule given there is no visibility on when the pandemic will end?

According to sources, the committee felt that delaying the exams was inevitable since many tests centres were falling in containment zones. As per the data collected by the panel, about 40 JEE (Main) test centres (out of 650) are currently in containment zones. Close to one lakh candidates were scheduled to take the entrance test at these centres. Hence, they would have been adversely affected if NTA had conducted JEE (Main) in July.

After agreeing on the delay, the panel then had to propose new dates for the two entrance tests. “It was felt that September would be the safest and the earliest when the exams could be conducted next,” said a source, who did not wish to be identified. NTA then reached out to the service provider that conducts JEE (Main) online for the Agency to check if the designated test centres are available in the first week of September. Once the service provider green-lit the proposed dates in September, the panel forwarded its recommendation to the government.
