In addition, the JEE Advanced 2020 could not take place last year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Thus, students who did not take last year’s assessment will be eligible for this year’s exam. However, officials will not conduct examinations outside of India this year due to the pandemic. Therefore, candidates must write the exam in a testing location within the country. Additionally, the application forms for Indian candidates will be available from 11 September 2021 onwards.
