JEE Main 2021: Last Session Exam Begins Today, Important Points To Know

The fourth and final session of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2021 begins today. The exam is scheduled to be held on August 26, 27, 31, and September 1, 2. For the final session of JEE Main 2021, over seven lakh candidates have registered. The National Testing Agency had released the JEE Main 2021 session 4 admit cards on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in, a few days before. Candidates appearing for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 need to carry the admit cards, along with a valid photo identification card to the exam centre.

As the examination is being held amidst the pandemic, candidates must also bring the filled but unsigned JEE Main self-declaration form, which is a part of the admit card. Candidates need to record their recent health status and travel history in the self-declaration form.

Once the examination is over, NTA will release the provisional answer key and the students will be given a window to raise objections to the answer keys if any. The changes, if found to be correct, will be made in the final version. The final JEE Main answer key will be published just before the result declaration.

The first three sessions of JEE Main 2021 have been successfully conducted earlier this year and the National Testing Agency (NTA) has also released its results.
