Candidates will have to appear for two papers that will be conducted in the morning and in the afternoon.

The JEE Advanced this year will not be conducted in any of the foreign exam centres in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision has been taken due to the prevailing restrictions imposed on foreign travel and visa issuance.

Every year the examintion is held in May or June but this year it has been postponed due to the pandemic.

The eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced have been relaxed. Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' in July announced that due to the partial cancellation of Class 12 exams by several boards, JAB has decided to relax the eligibility criterion for qualified candidates, this time.

Earlier, candidates have to secure either minimum score of 75 percent marks in Class 12 board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying examinations.

Now, those who have qualified the Class 12 exams will be eligible for admissions to the IITs irrespective of their score.
