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.
While NTA is yet to issue the JEE Mains syllabus 2026, aspirants can check last year's physics topics, weightage and marks.

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!

Hello,
Yes, you are right; you can upload your class 10th marksheet for the JEE Main 2026 registration, as DigiLocker documents are considered equivalent to original physical documents by law. You should download the digitally signed marksheet from your DigiLocker account to upload it to the JEE Main application form.
I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,
Generally, UPES( University of Petroleum and Energy Studies) might have different admission criteria depending on the specific program. Some may require specific JEE Main scores, while others might consider alternative criteria like their own entrance exams (UPES Engineering Aptitude Test), merit in 12th grade or any other factors. Therefore, even if you didn’t qualify for JEE Mains, you might still be eligible for certain programs at UPES. It’s best to check official UPES site for accurate admission requirements.
