These question banks are no ordinary as they will be created by using AI and computer software. Doesn’t that sound fascinating?

The reason that NTA states behind this super cool (for a science fanatic) approach is the generation of a large number of tests in a relatively short time period, since, the exam will be conducted twice.

Reason #5 - Testing the real way

JEE Main 2021 will be conducted to not test the ratification abilities of candidates but to put them to the real test of finding out their actual capabilities of conceptual understanding and applying them too.

We all have to eventually live and work in the real world where performance matters. Therefore, to prepare candidates for the same thing, they will be tested on certain skills and knowledge via JEE Main exam.

The APT purpose of an exam will come into the picture in JEE Main 2021 exam as to check which student is good in which skill and how can their knowledge of science and technology be put to better use.

The statisticians of NTA will pick questions on which two groups of candidates (in two different attempts) have showcased similar knowledge or skills perform differently in the test through a process known as Differential Item Functioning (DIF) based on the administration’s data of previous years. In case, one group of candidates perform better than another, then questions that would have appeared in the exam will be considered as unsatisfactory.

Reason #6 - Mock test

JEE Main 2021 first attempt will be conducted in January while second attempt will be conducted in April . NTA has released the mock test for preparation. Students can double up their preparation with the help of mock test.

Reason #7 - First is always right
