While one section of the students are now happy with the announcement, several other students are still worried due to the scheduled JEE Main 2021 April session. The National Testing Agency (NTA) which conducts the national-level entrance exam for engineering, JEE Main 2021, has not yet released any notification regarding JEE Main 2021 postponement. JEE Main 2021 April session is scheduled to be conducted from April 27 to 30.

Would you kindly consider to postpone the JEE Main April 2021 exam also in view of unprecedented spread of Covid-19 virus.”
