Admit Card Release Delays
You might face delays in getting your admit card due to multiple reasons which include admin issues, change of dates etc.
| 2019 | Admit cards were usually issued in good time but candidates in some areas complained that it sometimes takes 3 — 5 days depending on some administrative constraints |
| 2020 | The pandemic has led to many changes, with the biggest impact expressed through increased delays. The examination was rescheduled twice, and the admit card was released 20 days late, at most. Originally set for April 2020, the examination was first rescheduled to July and later to September. |
| 2021 | Similar problems, but at a larger scale, arose in the wake of this COVID-19 second wave. It’s cent percent that the first session was postponed multiple times leading to a delay of 10-15 days in the issuance of admit cards. |
| 2022–2024 | After the pandemic, the frequency of admit card releases went back to normal, but there were some minor hitches (5-7 days) due to technical problems at exam centers, but it was not frequently occurring. |
Cancellation of Exam Shifts or Centers
There are very few that have been reported to cancel the JEE Main exam. They found that cancellation and rescheduling cases constituted 0.1%–0.5% of JEE Main candidates in 2019–2024. Some of the reasons for cancellation over the years are:
- 2019: Very few cancellations. Several centers experienced some difficulties (e.g., use of computers), and the problems impacted a relatively small number of people. These were rearranged with good communication plans in place.
- 2020–2021: Due to the pandemic, NTA had to cancel particular shifts in certain centers if there were issues concerning COVID or other administration. A few shifts in centers of major examination cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru were called off due to technical issues and some cases of proctor malpractice in some examination sessions. About 50,000 candidates out of 10 million claimed they had had their examinations canceled or rescheduled due to operational reasons.
- 2022–2024: The cancelations were fewer in number after the pandemic, and a new mechanism was set up by NTA to track exam centers as well as technology effectively. Less of a problem, if reported at all, were the ones concerning examination irregularities rather than mass-center cancellation. Traveling problems or other technical issues only affected roughly 0.1 percent or 10000 candidates or fewer were rescheduled.
