Current state of the COVID-19 pandemic may hit JEE Main 2021 April exams

NTA is slated to conduct the JEE Main April 2021 on 27, 28, 29 and 30 April. Thus, students await the release of JEE Main 2021 April exam admit cards. But in the meanwhile, we cannot rule out the probability of exam postponement. The ever-rising COVID-19 cases in the country have led the education ministry to already cancel the CBSE X exams. They have also postponed the Class XII Board exam and only today released the postponement of NEET-PG 2021.

This has caused a massive panic among students who are due to appear in JEE Main 2021 April. Students on Twitter and Facebook have voiced the concerns as the exams are only 10 days away. Further, just like last year, they have started flooding the Twitter handle of Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal with hashtags such as PostponeJEEMain2021. .

Currently, NTA has not announced the exam postponement, and the admit card is due today. Thus, any decision on JEE Main 2021 April will only come out via EduMin's office.

State of Affairs in the country

We must note that several states have imposed either partial lockdowns, weekend lockdown or lockdown-like curfews. In any case, 27-30 April falls between Thursday and Friday. With the interstate restriction in place and the limit on occupancies in hotels and restaurants, it will be difficult for students to travel to other cities for exams.

On the other hand, if the NTA postpones the April exam, it will likely shift the May exam. Now, unlike for BTech and BE, BArch students have only got two chances to give their JEE Main exams. Thus, it could pose a massive difficulty for all candidates appearing in May 2021.

Whether JEE Main April 2021 be postponed will be clear in the coming days. But since the NTA has not yet released any notification regarding the postponement of JEE Main 2021 April exam, students can expect the release of admit card soon.  The admit card of JEE Main 2021 will be released on the official website and the exam dates are from April 27 to 30.
