One day to go...Education Minister Mr Pokhriyal will announce the dates and eligibility criteria of JEE Advanced 2021 on January 7, 6 PM. Along with the date and eligibility, the education minister may also announce other important details. These may include an increase in the number of attempts for the JEE Advanced 2021 exam exactly like JEE Main examination. Thus, the event may put the major concerns of students regarding the engineering entrance examinations to rest.
This year IIT Kharagpur will organise JEE Advanced.
Who can participate in JEE Advanced 2021 right now?
2.5 lakh top rankers of JEE Main 2021 will qualify for JEE Advanced 2021. Further, those who cleared JEE Main 2020 but could not appear for the advanced stage due to COVID-19 situation can appear for the exam. As a one-time exception, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has allowed the latter BTech candidates to directly appear for JEE Advanced 2021.
What are students' major concerns?
Many students have thus put forward some requests. Of this, an increased number of attempts and removal of 75% criteria to be eligible for IIT admission, top.
Give a extra attempt to the ones who have exhausted their 2 attempts in 2020
