Keeping all these instances in view, candidates shall most of their queries solves in December 03 live meet.
Students have already started to pour in their concerns to discuss with the minister.
The most common concern right now among the candidates is about increasing the number of JEE attempts this year. The students whose last attempt for JEE Main was in 2020, are asking is they will be allowed to take the exam this year too.
Another concern is the postponement of CBSE boards exams. Many students have requested a postponement of the board exams by 2 months at least.
Due to the pandemic the academic session in 2020 got delayed. As a aftermath of it, academic session 2021 started late. This affected the entire Indian education scenario. Usually, by now, CBSE date sheet is released and the exams are then held in the month of February and January. The entrance exams and university admissions are then held accordingly.
However, this year, students are waiting for the date sheet to release. Unless CBSE releases the date sheet, NTA cannot decide the exam date for national level because the board and CBSE exams cannot clash.
