JEE Main Results Live Updates
New Delhi:
JEE Main Result 2020 Live Updates: The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the national-level test Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main, is expected to declare the results for it soon. The JEE Main, conducted from September 1 to 6, is for admission to BTech, BArch and BPlanning programmes in engineering, architecture and planning. A total of 8.58 lakh candidates had registered for the exam. Around 6.35 lakh candidates, under 75% of the total, ultimately turned up for the exams. The JEE Main is conducted twice in a year. The first, in January, was written by over 10 lakh. The second JEE Main 2020 was scheduled for April but had to be postponed multiple times due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The JEE Main 2020 was conducted amidst stiff resistance from a section of students and the government of several states. They opposed the decision to conduct exams in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak and floods. The number of COVID-19 cases was rising and the two crises had disrupted critical public services such as transport. However, on August 17, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the NTA, allowing it to conduct exams. It subsequently declined multiple petitions to review that order and postpone JEE Main 2020 and also the medical entrance exam, NEET 2020.
The exams were conducted with states and central government ministries taking steps to help by providing public transport, opening hotels and lodges and running special trains.

JEE Mains 2020 And COVID-19
The April exams were postponed multiple times once the spread of COVId-19 started growing. Each time the NTA postponed the exam, it also reopened the “correction window” allowing registered candidates to change their choice of exam centre city. The reason for doing this was that the COVID-19 lockdown resulted in thousands of candidates leaving towns and cities where they were preparing for the exam and returning to their hometowns. In August, the NTA said that over 99% candidates had been assigned the exam city of their choice.
