For JEE Main April 2020 registered candidates, National Testing Agency (NTA) has opened the facility to change exam centre city. Candidates can change the center online, from jeemain.nta.nic.in. Last date to make the changes is April 14, 2020. Through a public notice, NTA disclosed that due to COVID-19 students across India are facing difficulty. Hence, it is providing one more change to update the center details.
To update JEE Main 2020 exam center, candidates need to login by entering application number with password and change details from the dashboard. Corrections can be done up to 5.00 Pm on the last day and fee can be paid until 11.50 pm on the same day, if applicable.
If in case, any fee is applicable then the candidates can remit it via net banking or credit / debt card. UPI and Paytm can be also used.
As per the corrections and the final data submitted, the admit card of JEE Main 2020 will be issued. Therefore the filling and correction of the online form must be done seriously as no further chances of form correction will be provided by NTA.
The notice further states that NTA will be making all possible arrangements to allot the students the exam center in the city if their choice. The students need to choose 4 exam cities in the online application fork of JEE Main 202 in order of their preference. Under extraordinary circumstances, NTA might allot the exam center in the less preferred city.
Earlier this month, NTA has reopened the application form correction facility for the candidates. Then, candidates can could edit all the details but exam centers. However, now the facility to edit exam city is also available.
JEE Main 2020 second exam is scheduled to be held across 233 cities in the states and UTs of India. There are 9 exam cities available outside India too. The allotment of the exam center is done via the JEE Main 2020 admit card only.
