About JEE (Main) – 2019
The JEE (Main)-2019 will be c
onducted twice before admissions in the next academic session.
The s
tudents will have following benefits of the new pattern:
This will give one more opportunity to the students to improve their scores in examination
if they fail to give their best in first attempt without wasting their whole academic year.
In first attempt, the students will get a first-hand experience of taking an examination and
to know their mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the second time.
This will reduce chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste a full
year.
If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control, then he/she won’t
have to wait for one full year.
The student’s best of the two NTA scores will be considered for preparation of Merit List/
Ranking.

JEE
(Main) – 2019
will
be held in January, 2019 whereas the second attempt
will be held in April, 2019. The test will be held on different shifts/dates in both the attempts.

ation form of JEE (Main)-2019
