Last year, Joint Entrance Exam (JEE)-Main was conducted four times a year to offer flexibility to students and a chance to improve their scores. The first phase was held in February and the second in March. The next phases were scheduled for April and May, but those were postponed in view of the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining two phases were conducted in August and September last. However, this year, the JEE-Main exam is likely to be conducted twice, with the merit list to be decided based on best of the two scores.
