After much hiatus dates were declared for JEE Mains (April/September) and was conducted from September 1 to 6.
There were demands from various quarters for postponing the exam. Certain sections have also filed a petition in nation’s top court seeking postponement of NEET and JEE Mains also.
However, they were all dismissed and then the exam went as per the earlier fixed schedule in September.
Fear of contracting the infection kept many students restricted to their homes preventing them from attending exam.
At many centres, exam halls were seen half empty and this was the proof that not many considered the atmosphere safe to come out and attend the exam.
Sources say, only about 74 percent of the students who registered for the JEE Mains (April/September) appeared for the exam.
