According to some trusted source, NTA will conduct JEE Main 2019. A budget of Rs. 25 Crore has been allotted to NTA to start functioning. So the possibility is it will start its role as a conducting body of many major competitive exams from 2019. There are minor changes that NTA will introduce in the way all the examinations were conducted till date. These changes have been confirmed by an official notice.
The first change that NTA is going to make is in the mode of exam. All the examination conducted by NTA will be in online mode only and NTA will take charge of all those examinations that are being conducted by CBSE till date, which includes JEE Main and NEET (UG). Gradually, in the long run, all national level entrance examination will be conducted by NTA.
Although these changes are expected in JEE Main if NTA becomes its conducting body.
