The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to launch the second session of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 tomorrow, April 2, giving engineering and architecture aspirants another shot at securing admission to India's elite technical institutions. With exams scheduled from April 2 to 9, candidates must navigate crucial protocols to ensure a smooth testing experience.
The high-stakes examination serves as a gateway to prestigious institutions, including National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). Exams will run in two daily shifts: 9.00 am to 12.00 pm and 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm.
Candidates must arrive at least two hours before their scheduled exam time with:
Printed admit card (downloadable from jeemain.nta.nic.in)
Valid photo ID (School ID, PAN Card, Driving License, Passport, Aadhaar, etc.)
Self-Declaration Form
One passport-sized photograph matching the application
PwD/PwBD (Persons with Disabilities/Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) certificate, if applicable
Simple transparent ballpoint pen
The NTA emphasises several key protocols:
Sit only in your designated seat
Ensure your question paper matches your chosen subject
Report technical issues immediately
No electronic devices (phones, calculators, smartwatches) allowed
No bags, papers, or food items are permitted
No retests will be conducted for missed exams
Candidates should preserve copies of all documentation, as these records will not be available after July 31, 2025. Those providing false information to appear in multiple shifts face result cancellation.
Admit cards for exams scheduled between April 7-9 will soon be released on the official website.
