JEE Advanced Dates, IIT Eligibility Criteria Tomorrow; Know What Students Are Asking
Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ will announce the JEE Advanced 2021 dates and IIT eligibility criteria on his Twitter handle tomorrow, January 7, at 6 pm.
The Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ will announce the JEE Advanced 2021 date tomorrow, January 7, at 6 pm on his official Twitter account. The education minister will also inform about the IIT JEE Advanced eligibility criteria for admission to undergraduate programmes at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT).
While Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is conducted for admission to engineering colleges across the country, JEE Advanced is conducted for admission to the 23 IITs in the country. To appear for JEE Advanced, it is mandatory to clear JEE Main. Currently, a candidate is allowed only two attempts at IIT entrance exam, however, those in their final year or second attempt who could not take the exam on 2020 will be given relaxation, as a one-time COVID-19 relief. Candidates who could not take JEE Advanced 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic will get a chance to reappear directly, without having to clear JEE Main 2021.
Mr Pokhriyal said: “Dear Students, I will announce the eligibility criteria for admission in IITs and the date of JEE Advanced tomorrow at 6 PM.”

Aspirants seeking admission to the IITs and willing to appear for the upcoming JEE Advanced 2021 have been requesting for certain relaxations in the examination tagging the education minister. While several students have been urging for a reduced IIT JEE Advanced syllabus, several others have asked for multiple attempts in the eligibility test.

Please listen our demand,it is very legit and will not at all harm anybody instead it will be a measure taken for equality among all students.”
