Postpone JEE Main 2022 or allow 4 attempts: Students worried over date clash

NEW DELHI: Engineering aspirants have been requesting the National Testing Agency (NTA) to postpone the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main 2022) citing a clash with board exam dates.

However, students of other boards have been expressing their concern about preparing for the national level engineering entrance exam on short notice.

Another student suggested, “These things would improve the students' situation significantly. A correction window, #PostponeJEEMains2022 till board exam finishes, An honest fair gap between two(or more) session of jee and other entrance exams.”

@Swamy39 sir, help us with messed up #JEEMain2022 schedule and clash with board. Also understand that merely postponing state boards doesn't help in anyway, as it just get postponed and eats up the day of improving.

Please, write a letter to edu. min. On our behalf.
