Postponed JEE Main & NEET will Now be Held in July
The NTA launched the app after the HRD Minister received several requests from JEE and NEET aspirants across the country for a preparational aid. This year’s aspirants found themselves in a tight spot after the JEE Main and NEET examinations got postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Initially scheduled for April and May, now the JEE Main will be conducted from 18 to 23 July, and the NEET 2020 exam will be held on 26 July. Keeping in mind the additional stress in the minds of the aspirants, the NTA designed the app to help students assess their preparation.
Also, the NTA recently issued a notice stating that the application for JEE Main has been reopened for a short while, especially for the students whose plans to join foreign universities got cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
