Thank you for tuning in!
I hope you received answers to your queries related to upcoming competitive/board exams. pic.twitter.com/ofxS1DagI7
Due to the delay in the 2020 admission process for B.Tech & MBBS, the notification for JEE Main 2021 & NEET 2021 has been delayed. On the other hand, the academic session of 2020-21 for Class 12th students had started with a long delay across the country. Therefore, most of the students have been requesting the HRD Minister to postpone the board exams till May. On the other hand, many students are even asking for the 3rd attempt of JEE Advanced. The government has already given an option for students to appear for JEE Advanced 2021 if he/ she had missed the exam in 2020.
