There is good news for students who are managing their time and routine to prepare for CBSE Term 2 Class 12 Examination and JEE Main 2022 simultaneously.
Both sessions of JEE Exam 2022 have been shifted to the later dates to accommodate the CBSE Term 2 Examination. After the announcement of the CBSE Term 2 Exam Date, it was quite evident that the National Testing Agency (NTA) have to change the dates of JEE Main 2022 otherwise it will clash with the CBSE
Term 2 Exam and will ultimately benefit no one. As students will be juggling the preparation of both exams at a time and will not be able to compete with a fresh and focused mind in anyone.
Although NTA took a lot of time to come to the obvious announcement, it's never too late than ever.
Earlier JEE Main exam was conducted every year around the same time so that in natural progression the participants and institutes get enough time to counsel and take students and start their academic session by Mid July or at the start of August.
But that was also subject to the end of march board exams completion. The recurring threat of COVID waves has caused enormous disruption in the world as well as the functioning of the education system.
JEE Main 2022, is the most crucial exam for the students to get into prestigious engineering universities and colleges around the country, no one would have thought that it would have such an uncertain course before it finally happens.
Students who have been religiously preparing for this exam for quite a long time could become frustrated by extensions and shifting. As JEE Mains is the first stage to clear, to appear in JEE Advanced and then the admission into your dream IITs.
While at this time things can seem very unorganized and out of hand to many. You may fall into the trap of negative thinking which can hamper your CBSE Term 2 preparations also. You need to understand that these things and most of all the pandemic are not in anybody's hands to control.
The best one can do now is to take in what is right in front of you i.e CBSE Term 2 Exam focus on that and go one day at a time. The move to shift the JEE Main 2022 session was for your benefit so that you didn’t have to switch between your preparations and focus on one exam at a time.
And once you are done with your CBSE Term 2 Exams you have ample time to reorganize your thoughts and preparation, and then appear for JEE Main 2022 with a fresh and fine mind.
Latest Schedule of JEE Main 2022
JEE Main 2022 will be a computer-based test taken by a large number of students seeking admission to engineering courses. Many of you must have already pulled up your socks and were well prepared to take on the exam.
But this shift in session will be a welcome move for those who were unable to cope with the preparations of two examinations at a time.
As earlier Session 1 was scheduled from April 21 to May 4, 2022, which coincided with the April 26th start of CBSE Term 2 exams, now Session 1 will be conducted from June 20 to June 29, 2022. Which is well beyond the stipulated end of CBSE Term 2 exams on 15th June 2022.
