This year the JEE Main exams were held from September 1 to 6, 2020 at 660 exam centres in 233 cities, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over 8 lakh students appeared for the JEE Main 2020.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted JEE Main entrance tests in two slots, between 9 am and 12 noon, and 3 pm and 6 pm from September 1 till September 6.
Meanwhile, the students who registered for the Joint Entrance Exam -Advanced (JEE Advanced) exam this year but missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic will get a chance to reappear directly for the exam next year, the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) had said in a joint note.
"To address the concerns of the affected candidates, while avoiding prejudice to other candidates, it has been decided to allow all the candidates, who had successfully registered to appear in JEE Advanced 2020 but were absent in the exam, to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2021, as a one-time measure," IIT Delhi said after a meeting of the Joint Admission Board (JAB) of the IITs.
To appear for JEE Advanced, it is mandatory for candidates to clear JEE Main.
However, the IITs have decided that these candidates will not have to qualify for JEE Main 2021, and will be allowed to directly appear in JEE Advanced 2021 on the basis of their successful registration to appear in 2020.
JEE Advanced results were declared on September 27.
The number of students appearing for JEE Advanced 2020 was also a record low. Of the 2.5 lakh students who were eligible to appear for JEE Advanced, only 1.5 lakh had appeared for the exam.
Over 43,000 candidates, including 6,707 girls, have cleared the exam.
