JEE Main result for the exams held in April this year has been delayed. An official told NDTV on Monday that the JEE Main results for the second edition of the exams will not be released this week. According to the official, the results will be released after April 30. Though the National Testing Agency (NTA) had fixed April 30 as the results declaration date, the anticipation for an early release of the JEE Main result was high as the Agency managed to release the first edition results in a record one week's time after the exams in January. The JEE Main result will be released on the official website, jeemain.nic.in.
"The results are being prepared right now. We will not be able to release the results early as we did with the first JEE Main in January," the official said.
"The results can be expected after April 30 which means the results will be delayed this time," added the official.
