The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 exam scheduled for April 5 will be rescheduled. This change accommodates candidates observing Easter Sunday. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will provide an option for affected students to take the exam on an alternative date. This decision comes after concerns were raised by students and community members.
Rescheduling Option Confirmed
The JEE Main 2026 Session 2 examination is currently scheduled from April 2 to April 9. The NTA confirmed that candidates unable to appear on April 5 due to the Easter conflict can request a date change. This flexibility ensures no student is disadvantaged by religious observances. Union Minister Suresh Gopi confirmed the decision followed discussions with the Ministry of Education.
How to Request Rescheduling
Candidates needing to reschedule must submit a request via the official NTA website. The NTA will soon release detailed instructions for this process. Applicants will likely need to log in using their application credentials. They will then select an option to change their exam date. Updated admit cards with the new schedule will be issued after the request is approved.
Important Information for Candidates
The rescheduling option is for candidates directly impacted by the April 5 date clash. Students should monitor the NTA website closely for announcements. This includes information on the rescheduling window, revised admit cards, and specific instructions. Timely submission of requests is essential. The NTA aims to manage the changes without disrupting the overall examination timeline.
