Following the release of the CBSE date sheet, teachers and students are troubled and requesting the National Testing Agency (NTA) to postpone the last phase of (JEE) Main
As per the CBSE date sheet, the biology exam will be held on May 24 which coincides with the JEE Main last attempt scheduled to be conducting from May 24 to 28.
Local students have raised a plea to NTA via social media portals and emails. Sarthak Khatri, a class 12th student, is preparing for board exams, medical and engineering entrance tests. “I have taken physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics so that I can be eligible to appear for both JEE and NEET. While the schedule of NEET is not out yet, I thought my board exams will be over and I will be able to appear for JEE without skipping any test,” said Khatri.
The computer science students are also unhappy with the date sheet as their subject paper will be held on May 29, a day after the JEE Main.
Another student Nikhil Chouhan said the preparation for both the exams is quite different, and to focus on the engineering entrance test will impact his board exam scores.
This year, the JEE Main will be held in four phases –– February, March, April, and May.
Another student Shivangi Khurana said as three months are left for the board exam, to focus on the competitive exam will hamper the preparation. “The pandemic has affected the entire year, and online classes are not sufficient for understanding of science subjects. Now, as schools, institutions have been reopened, I want to use the opportunity to prepare well for the board exam rather than focusing on engineering entrance test.”
Shivangi wants to attempt the exam in May, but her economics paper on May 25 is clashing with JEE. She has physics on May 13, chemistry on May 18, maths on June 1.
NTA might provide another slot
Meanwhile, the National Testing Agency is thinking to provide another slot for students having biology on May 24. The NTA official said, “The issue regarding students’ problem has been discussed, and they may be provided another day. The agency may take help of CBSE to collect the roll number of the students.”
Senior Examination Director of NTA, Sadhana Parashar, said in a notice, "Keeping in mind that the dates of JEE Main and Class 12 board exams do not clash with each other, applications will be accepted from students from May 3. Its last date is May 12. The students will have to provide their Class 12th roll number and name of the board to the NTA while filling the form."
Before this, JEE (Main) and NEET had to postpone the exam three times due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. However, both these exams were completed in late 2020.
