The past few days have been quite eventful for students all over India. With the entry of COVID-19 or simply known as Coronavirus, the country (along with the rest of the world) has been thrown into a state of panic with the rising number of casualties. While India is currently situated in the initial stages of the pandemic, the government is trying their best to handle the situation and nip it in the bud. Since self isolation is the key to putting a hold to this virus, the government has directed all examinations to be postponed.
The current timeline in India is the season for entrance examinations and unfortunately, a number of exams and students will be suffering due to COVID-19. JEE Main 2020 (April session), which is the most important engineering entrance exam has also been announced as postponed by the National Testing Agency. The new exam dates are scheduled to be declared after March 31, 2020 and the admit card of JEE Main 2020 will also be released after this date. However, how can the future of the COVID-19 actually be assessed right now? How can people be so sure that there will be no risk in attending the exam centres later in the year since mass gathering in such situations will be unavoidable.
This just raises an essential question of whether an option of JEE Main 2020 being held as an online test given from home due to COVID 19 be considered or not? While there are less chances of the authorities allowing candidates to attempt the examination from home, it might turn out to be a possibility given the current situation. NTA is quite skilled and experienced in conducting computer based tests and this might help them to pull off this arrangement. However, it is too early to speculate whether NTA will actually consider this option while preparing for the worst case scenarios.By considering this option, many challenges will be faced by NTA but we should keep all doors open in case the situation is still bleak at that point.

Considering the fact that the JEE Main is a computer based test, if this option is introduced by the authorities then it has to be conducted as an online test. Even if a particular question is allotted a specific number of time period, this will not erase the chances of cheating since there will be no supervision at the home of the candidates. Another challenge will be faced by JEE Main 2020 Paper 2 (B.Arch) candidates. The drawing section of this exam is to be held in pen and paper based mode. So, how will this actually be pulled off by the authorities?
As of now, the only thing we can do is to sit back and wait for the official notification of NTA regarding JEE Main 2020. Given the current situation, the officials are likely to be brainstorming about the various ways in which the students suffer less and the examination is held smoothly. Till then, the applicants should make the best use of self-isolation and study hard for the upcoming exam. All the best!

On Question asked by student community
With your JEE Main CRL 476199 and OBC rank 173160, admission to Civil Engineering at Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT), Sarang under JoSAA counseling is highly unlikely, since even civil branch closing ranks in IGIT usually remain within 50k–80k CRL (general) and much lower for OBC. However, you may try through state counseling (Odisha JEE) where cutoffs are sometimes more flexible, but chances are still very low. You should keep other private/state colleges as backup.
Hey! With a JEE Main rank of around 1 lakh, you still have a good chance to get admission in several engineering colleges that provide quality education at a reasonable fee. For government colleges, you can aim for NITs or GFTIs in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, as these usually have slightly higher closing ranks. For example, colleges like NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry, and NIT Srinagar might have seats available in certain branches.
Apart from NITs, state government engineering colleges are also a good option, especially under home state quota. They often have lower tuition fees and good faculty, so you can get a solid education without spending much.
If you are open to private colleges, there are options like VIT Vellore, KIIT Bhubaneswar, or Amity University that provide decent infrastructure and placements. However, the fees may be higher than government colleges.
My advice is to focus on branches that are less competitive, check all counseling rounds, and make use of state quotas if applicable. With proper planning, a rank of 1 lakh can still help you get a good college and start your engineering career success
fully.
No, you can’t use a previous year’s JEE rank for the current year’s WBJEE counselling. Only the JEE Main rank of the same admission year is valid along with that year’s WBJEE rank.
Hello Aspirant,
Finding specific JEE exam centers for Whitefield is difficult as they vary each year. The list is released on the admit card . However, many centers are usually iON Digital Zones. For coaching, top centers near Whitefield include Aakash Institute , Narayana Institute , and Allen Career Institute . These centers have branches in and around the Whitefield area to help you prepare for the exam.
Its okay if you missed jee this year you can drop year for JEE to get into a government institute like IET Lucknow to get better placement here and fees is also less in comparison with SRMU but it also means delaying a year with no guarantee success.
Joining a private college like SRMU now avoids losing a year,but it comes with higher costs and generally lower placement statistics compared to top government institutions.
ultimately Your decision should be based on your skill whether you can significantly improve your JEE score versus accepting a faster, but potentially more expensive, path to your B.Tech.
Hope it helps..
