Since the number of COVID-19 cases are declining, experts are of the view that JEE Main 2021 exams may be conducted in the third week of July or the second week of August.

Earlier last month, owing to the rising number of COVID cases across the country, the Centre had postponed both April and May session Exams.

While the JEE (Main) – 2021 April Session was scheduled for April 27, 28, and 30, the May session was scheduled to be held on 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 May 2021. In 2020 also, the JEE Main exam was deferred due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The JEE Main 2020 was conducted from September 1-6, followed by JEE Advanced 2020 on September 27.
