• From 2023 to 2026, the Session 1 dates have largely remained in the third or fourth week of January.

How Many Days Are There Between JEE Main Session 1 and Session 2?

The gap between the two JEE Main sessions has generally been around two months, giving candidates additional time to revise and improve their performance. The 2022 cycle was an exception because the exam schedule was significantly delayed.

• The gap between Session 1 and Session 2 was around 62 days in 2025 and 2026.
• The gap was slightly longer in 2023 and 2024, at around 64 and 62 days, respectively.
• JEE Main 2022 had a much shorter gap of around 22 days because both sessions were conducted later than the usual January-April schedule.
• Based on recent cycles, candidates can generally expect around 2 months between the two attempts.
