News18.com talked to experts in the field who informed that having two attempts might not impact students’ scores heavily if the time between the attempts is planned well. Students, on the contrary, have been demanding the relaxation citing that their academic year like the batch before them has been affected by the pandemic-led shutdown and shift to online classes.
It is likely that exams are held only in April and in May in 2022. Last year, 6.80 lakh students took April and 6.09 lakh took May exam. The exam dates are yet to be announced and are likely to be out soon at nta.ac.in or jeemian.nta.nic.in. Once the notification is out, the application process too would begin. Registration process, as per reports will begin from March 1 or the first week of March.
For JEE Main 2021, the number of cities was increased from 232 to 334, and the number of exam centers increased from 660 in 2020 to 828 in 2021.
