JEE Advanced 2024 Exam Likely to be Postponed till June Due to Lok Sabha Elections
Amid the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, many exams have been rescheduled and it is highly possible that IIT Madras will announce the postponement of IIT JEE Advanced exam slated to be held on May 26. Know details below.
JEE Advanced 2024 Exam Likely to be Postponed till June Due to Lok Sabha Elections
The JEE Advanced 2024 exam has been set for May 26, which falls just a day after the Lok Sabha Election Phase 6, scheduled for May 25. Considering the possible travel disruptions and candidate concerns that may arise due to the elections, the exam organiser, IIT Madras, may contemplate rescheduling the JEE Advanced examination.
Latest Update: IIT Madras Confirms: JEE Advanced 2024 Exam Date Set, No Rescheduling Despite Lok Sabha Elections
As phase 6 of polling is scheduled to take place on May 25, covering 57 constituencies across seven states, conducting the national-level JEE Advanced exam the next day could pose logistical challenges. Elections usually cause traffic and commute disruption, thus rendering the exam experience uncomfortable. As a result, IIT Madras might decide to postpone the exam to a more feasible date.
JEE Advanced 2024 Exam Expected to be Postponed till June
The JEE Advanced 2024 exam might be postponed until June due to the upcoming elections. The election process will conclude on June 1st, followed by the counting of votes, which is expected to last until June 6. Given the difficulty of conducting the JEE Advanced exam during this period for almost 2.5 lakh candidates, it is likely that the exam will be postponed until after June 6. The most probable dates for the exam are June 8th or June 16th, as the exam is usually conducted on Sundays.
It's worth noting that the postponement of the JEE Advanced exam date has not been officially announced yet. Candidates should refrain from jumping to conclusions until IIT Madras makes an official announcement. Any changes in the exam schedule will be communicated by IIT Madras through its official website, jeeadv.ac.in, in due course.
Many national level exams have been delayed due to Lok Sabha Elections to be held between April 19 and June 1 across seven phases. UPSC has postponed the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination – 2024, originally scheduled for May 26, to June 16 due to elections. Also, ICAI has revised the exam dates of CA Intermediate and CA Final for the same reason.
