National Testing Agency (NTA) has further extended the scope of JEE Main application form correction. Candidates who have applied for the exam can now modify their choice of cities for exam centres. NTA has decided to allow students to change their exam city in view of the problems faced by aspirants due to COVID-19 epidemic.
NTA, in a notice which was also tweeted by the Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', has said that it will make efforts to allot city of examination to the candidates in order of choice opted by them in their JEE Main application form. The exam city would be allotted subject to the availability of capacity in the desired city.
साथियों, #corona महामारी से उत्पन्न संकट के दौर में मुझे मिल रहे सुझावों में कई परीक्षार्थियों ने @DG_NTA परीक्षा केंद्रों को बदलने की अपनी इच्छा प्रकट की हैं। उनके इस अनुरोध को ध्यान में रखते हुए, मैंने एनटीए अध्यक्ष को इस पर गौर करने और उनका मार्गदर्शन करने का निर्देश दिया है। pic.twitter.com/lQ6zVzVCr7
