Change In Ayodhya Exam Centre
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a change in the examination venue for candidates scheduled to appear in JEE Main 2025 Session I on January 28, 29, and 30 in Ayodhya. The exam will now be held at SRS Digital Institute, MIG-35, Kaushalpuri Colony, Phase-2, Ayodhya, instead of the original venue: Institute for Advanced Computer Technology, 21/03/44/03, Behind Choti Devkali Mandir, Tulsi Nagar, Ayodhya, Faizabad, UP-224723.
