The National Testing Agency (NTA) is all set to conduct the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE-Main) Session 2 from Thursday April 4. The exam is conducted in two sessions to help candidates improve their scores in case they are not able to perform well in one attempt. The entrance exam will be held until April 12.
After getting a first-hand experience of taking the examination in the first session, the students will know their mistakes and avoid the same in the second attempt. This will also reduce the chances of dropping a year. The best scores of the two sessions will be used for the candidates who appear in both sessions of the JEE.
