JEE Main 2023 postponed till further notice: Fake circular circulates on social media

NEW DELHI: Amid several requests to reschedule the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Main 2023) January attempt, a fake circular on the postponement has been circulating on social media.

The JEE Main 2023 first attempt has been postponed till further notice, the fake circular read. “The decision has been taken due to increased demand by the aspirants and the date of the attempt clashing with some state board exam and pre-board exams,” it read.
