JEE Main 2021 Exam Date, Application Form, Eligibility, Syllabus, Pattern, Book Suggestion.

Conducted by NTA, JEE Main is the gateway to the prestigious engineering colleges across the country and the first step towards admission to IITs. The first session will be conducted in January 2021 and the second session in April 2021. However, it is likely that the JEE Main January 2021 registrations will be delayed as said by IIT Director. NTA Director has also stated earlier that the JEE Main 2021 dates will be impacted by the reopening of schools and boards exam schedule.

CBSE’s step of 30% syllabus reduction for class XI and XII, and with Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan boards now all set to reduce the syllabus for the academic year 2020-21, JEE MAIN 2021 syllabus is most likely to get impacted. Syllabus reduction in CBSE board has placed NTA and IITs in a tricky position as many boards are yet to announce their syllabus reduction. NTA Director General Joshi commented, “We will take it to JAB which is the authority on these matters.”
