West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that 75% of the state's candidates could not take JEE Main 2020 on Tuesday while only half of them managed to turn up in exam centres in other states due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. Ms Banerjee said that her government had made all the arrangements for the students, but only 1,167 wrote the test though 4,652 candidates were scheduled to appear for it on Tuesday, the first day of the examination.
