Overview of the JEE Mains Exams and Shifts
As of my last update, the Joint Entrance Examination JEE Mains is typically conducted twice a year, in January and April. The specific details about changes in the schedule, format, or regulations can vary from year to year. For the most accurate and current information regarding shifts or any changes to the JEE Mains exams in 2024, including dates, eligibility criteria, and exam format, I recommend checking the official National Testing Agency (NTA) website or relevant educational announcements.
Examination Schedule and Timing
The JEE Mains examination is conducted in two shifts each day. The first shift is from 9 AM to 12 Noon, and the second shift is from 3 PM to 6 PM. The examination is conducted for 5-6 days with a total of 10-12 shifts. Each paper is divided into separate sessions, ensuring a smooth and efficient testing process. The overall structure and timing of the exam help in managing the stress and ensuring that candidates have enough time to answer all the questions.
Examination Pattern and Structure
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the Joint Entrance Examination JEE Main is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India. The JEE Main examination has undergone significant changes over the years, but detailed information on any specific shifts or changes after September 2021 is not available. It is advisable to refer to the latest updates and official notifications from the NTA or the JEE Main website to get accurate and up-to-date information regarding any shifts or changes in the JEE Main exams.
