Students who had qualified in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main last year, and applied for the IIT admission test, JEE Advanced, but were unable to appear in it due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be allowed to directly appear for JEE Advanced 2021 without having to qualify in the Main exam again, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, who is conducting the exam this year, has said.
However, they will have to register again from September 11 onwards, and prior to JEE Advanced 2021 registration, such candidates will have to verify their special eligibility status.
IIT Kharagpur has started the process for verification of ‘special eligibility status for JEE Advanced 2021'.
“The candidates who successfully registered for JEE (Advanced) 2020 but were absent in both papers [Paper 1 and Paper2] of JEE (Advanced) 2020 are eligible to directly register for JEE (Advanced) 2021. The eligibility under this one-time measure can be verified by filling in the following fields,” an official statement said.
