The Education ministry has clarified that JEE Main 2021 dates have not been decided so far.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Tuesday released the notification for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2021 on its official website at - jeemain.nta.nic.in, but withdrew it hours later. As per the brochure, from the next academic year, JEE Main will be held in multiple shifts- February, March, April and May.
According to the Education Ministry, there has been "no decision on dates yet" for the Joint Entrance Exam or JEE Main 2021.
By the time the ministry issued its statement, the document and the announcement had both been removed from the exam's official website, according to NDTV.
However, both the Ministry of Education and NTA have now clarified that dates for the high-stake engineering entrance examination have not been decided so far.
JEE Main 2021 schedule: Important dates
According to the notification that was published earlier, the submission of the online-only application form could be made by the candidate by January 15, 2021.
The notification also said that in the next academic year, the JEE Main will be conducted in multiple sessions - February, March, April and May 2021. "This is being done to ensure that the JEE (Main)2021 does not interfere with the Board examinations, which may be held at different times across the States/UTs," the NTA had said.

Any suggestion about a reduction in the syllabus for the engineering entrance exam JEE-Main or medical entrance exam NEET has been rejected.
