The National Testing Agency (NTA) has revised the dates for Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main 2022), which will be held from April 21. JEE Main 2022 exam would now be conducted on April 21, 24, 25, 29, and May 1, 4, 2022.
Candidates can check the JEE Main 2022 revised schedule on the official website- jeemain.nta.nic.in.
According to NTA, JEE Main dates were revised following representations received from candidates seeking the change of dates of session 1 as it was clashing with their board exam dates.
The candidates are informed about the exam city in which they have to take their exams in the first week of April and the admit card will be available to download from the second week of April, as per the revised schedule.
The application process for JEE Main 2022 is still going on. Interested candidates can apply for JEE Mains at jeemain.nta.nic.in. till March 31. This year, candidates have to be careful about the application form as NTA will not provide any edit option in the form.
In another major change, JEE Main 2022 will have negative marking in both section A (Multiple Choice Questions) and Section B (numerical value). Earlier when the numerical section was introduced, students were given zero for the long-form answers, now negative marks will be given for a wrong answer.
The JEE Main candidates will get exam centers closer to home, according to NTA. Choice of exam cities displayed to the candidates will be based on the permanent and correspondence address filled during the online application form of JEE Main 2022, as per NTA.
Paper 1 for admission to BE and B.Tech program will be conducted for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Computer-Based mode. While Mathematics and Aptitude test will be common for Paper 2A and Paper 2B, Drawing Test and Planning will be only for the architecture and B Planning courses respectively.
