NCHMCT JEE 2020 Exam Analysis

NCHMCT JEE 2020 is one of the first national-level entrance exams that was conducted when COVID-19 pandemic has reached its peak in India. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted NCHMCT JEE 2020 from 3 pm to 6 pm today, August 29. NTA ensured that all necessary safety measures were in place for conducting NCHMCT JEE 2020 across 86 test cities in the country.

A three-hour duration test, NCHMCT JEE 2020 was conducted as a computer-based test (CBT). The questions asked in NCHMCT JEE 2020 were along expected lines and the test pattern was similar to that of past years’ papers of this hospitality entrance exam. The test paper was not difficult to attempt but most of the students were paranoid about appearing for the exam at their allotted NCHMCT JEE exam centre amid COVID-19 pandemic.
