JEE Advanced is an entrance exam for undergraduate engineering, science, and architecture programmes at India’s 23 technical institutes (IITs). An applicant must be among the top 2.5 lakh JEE Main candidates to be regarded qualified for JEE Advanced. JEE Advanced was originally slated on July 3, 2021, but was postponed due to Covid.
Several adjustments to the format of JEE Advanced 2021 have been made in light of the difficulties students have faced over the previous year and a half as a result of the Covid epidemic and the accompanying problems of online sessions. Candidates who qualified for JEE Advanced 2020 but did not appear owing to Covid or other reasons will be able to sit for JEE Advanced 2021 without having to retake the exam.
“Due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic-related circumstances in India, the date of JEE (Advanced) 2021 had previously been postponed,” IIT Kharagpur remarked when issuing the JEE information pamphlet. In due course, a new date will be announced.”
