Due to the pandemic situation, the National Testing Agency (NTA) decided to conduct the JEE Main 2021 exams in four sessions. The first two sessions, JEE Main 2021 February session and JEE Main 2021 March session, have been conducted and the results have been also declared. However, with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and unprecedented rise in the number of COVID-19 cases across the country, the JEE Main 2021 April exams were postponed. Now, the JEE Main 2021 May session exams have also been postponed.

As per the reports 620,978 and 556,248 candidates appeared for the JEE Main 2021 February and March sessions, respectively. The JEE Main 2021 May session exams were scheduled to take place on the 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th May, 2021. The JEE Main 2021 April session exams were supposed to take place on the 27th, 28th and 30th of last month.
It has been informed that the rescheduling of the JEE Main 2021 April and May session exams will be done subsequently. The registration for JEE Main 2021 May session exams will also be announced at a later stage.
