However, in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, according to data shared by the Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', out of the 8.58 lakh registered candidates for JEE Main 2020 in September, 6.35 lakh finally appeared for the exam. This implies that over 2.2 lakh students, or over 25%, did not write the JEE Main exams. The Minister of Education Ramesh Pokhriyal had said on Twitter: "Out of 8.58 lakh #JEEMains applicants, 6.35 lakhs appeared for the exam.”
The Education Minister further added: "Central and respective State Governments assured all possible assistance to the students, for which I compliment all State Governments as well. This entire effort displayed the spirit of cooperative federalism."
