Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal on Thursday said that JEE Advanced 2021 will be conducted on July 3 and this year the exam will be conducted by IIT Kharagpur.
Informing about the eligibility criteria for appearing for the exam, he said that students who clear the JEE Mains will be eligible to take the exam even if they haven’t scored a minimum of 75 per cent marks in the Board exams. Usually, only those students who have scored over 75 per cent marks in the board exams of class 12 are eligible to take the JEE Advanced exams. But last year this rule was relaxed in view of the difficulties arising due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The rule, once again, has been changed to favour the students.
Pokhriyal said that the nation has not yet recovered from the pandemic and hence the decision to waive off the 75 per cent rule has been taken in the interest of the students. He further said that he received several queries regarding the date of JEE Advanced 2021 exams and since this is one of the top competitive exams, the extended time will help the students perform well in the exams.
