No. Of Attempts For JEE Main 2021
With the new structure of the exam under NTA, the Joint Entrance Examination Main is now taking place four times in a year (February, March, April, and May 2021). In a discussion with my friend Arun, I argued that the number of attempts is 6, keeping in mind the eligibility criteria that a candidate must have passed class 12th in 2019, 2020, or should be taking the final year examination in 2021. If this criterion is to be followed, then the number of attempts is 8 as the candidate will be able to take the exam 8 times in 3 consecutive years.
On the other hand, Arun debated that since NTA has taken the charge of conducting these exams twice and if the first session is to be held in February, the number of attempts will be limited to 4 for session 2021 for a candidate who had passed class 12th in 2020. But he was wrong because if a candidate qualified Class 12th in 2020 then he is eligible for appearing in JEE Main 2021 session also means the number of attempts is 6.
JEE Main Eligibility Criteria For Droppers
Candidates who are droppers can also fill JEE Main application form but there are some conditions. For appearing in the exam for the 2021 session, a candidate should have dropped out either in 2019 or 2020. This means if a candidate has passed the exam in 2019 then JEE Main 2021 attempt will be the last chance for him/her. On the other hand, if a candidate has qualified the exam in 2021 then the candidate is eligible for the 2021 and 2022 sessions examination. Those who had completed class 12th in 2018, 2017, or earlier, they do not fulfill the eligibility for JEE Main 2021.
