JEE-Main to be held four times from February to May 2021

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Main) will be conducted four times starting February 2021. Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal on Thursday held a live interaction with students and addressed their concerns related to upcoming competitive and board exams.

The exam will be conducted every month from February to May 2021 in order to provide candidates with enough flexibility. The candidates can choose to appear in one or all of the tests and the highest score among all the appearances of the candidate will be considered for the rank list and admissions. He also said that while the syllabus for the examination will remain unchanged, a proposal to permit the students to answer 75 questions out of the total 90 questions is under consideration. 
During JEE 2020 (Mains), the candidates had to answer 75 questions -- 25 questions each in Physics, Chemistry and Maths.
