JEE Main 2023: Aspirants demand first session be conducted in April 2023, trend #jeemainsinapril

Aspirants are posting on micro-blogging site Twitter for the deferment of JEE Main 2023 first session with the hashtag #jeemainsinapril, citing lack of time for preparation. Though JEE Main 2023 dates have not been released, the NTA is likely to conduct JEE Main 2023 in January and April. 

JEE Main 2023: Many aspirants are taking over Twitter to demand postponement of the exams asking the National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct the first session in April 2023. Though JEE Main 2023 exam dates have not been released so far, the NTA is likely to conduct the JEE Main 2023 in January and April. The notification will soon be releasing on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. 

Users on the micro-blogging site Twitter tweeted requesting the National Testing Agency (NTA), Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the Ministry of Education for the postponement of JEE Main 2023 first session saying that droppers are not getting enough time for preparation. They are also demanding clarification on 75 per cent criteria as many students are still confused about their eligibility. The NTA had removed 75 per cent marks criteria from the minimum eligibility percentage norms in JEE Main 2022.
