About JEE Main 2019

The JEE Main 2019 will be conducted twice a year before admissions in the next academic session. The students will have the following benefits

• This will give one more opportunity to the candidates to improve their scores in the examination if they didn’t give their best in the first attempt without wasting the whole academic year.  
• In the first attempt, the students will get an experience of taking an examination and know mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the second time.
• This helps reducing chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste a full year.
• If anyone missed the examination, 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 for Ranking.

The first attempt at JEE Main 2019 will be held in January 2019 and the second attempt will be held in April 2019.
