NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has changed a Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main) 2025 exam centre in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya for candidates appearing on January 28, 29, and 30 exams, in view of MahaKumbh Mela 2025. The testing agency has issued fresh JEE Main 2025 admit cards for all such candidates on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.

As per the update, candidates appearing at the Institute for Advanced Computer Technology, 21/03/44/03, Behind Choti Devkali Mandir, Tulsi Nagar Ayodhya, Faizabad, UP-224723 will now have to go to SRS Digital Institute MIG-35 Kaushalpuri Colony Phase-2 Ayodhya to write the JEE Mains exam.

“Based on the recommendations of the District Level Committee and the District Administration, the following change is made in the examination centre due to the huge congregation of devotees in Mahakumbh at Ayodhya near Ram Path leading to River Saryu,” said NTA in an official notice.
