JEE Main 2023 Session 1 begins, students fret over admit cards, exam centres

Many JEE Main 2023 candidates are on tenterhooks as they are yet to receive details of when and where to take the exam.

Even though the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2023 Session 1 has started today (January 24), some students are on tenterhooks as they have still not received their JEE Main 2023 admit card for January 25 exam. They have taken to Twitter to express their issues. 

The JEE Main 2023 admit card is an important document. Without this, candidates will not be allowed to appear for the exam at any of the JEE Main test centres.

A student tweeted, “@DG_NTA my brother is appearing for jee mains .his exam is on 25th yet not received the admit card. His centre has been allotted apart from all the four choices. Your help line is not working and no reply via emails.
