Hello Aspirant,

See from this year National Testing Agency and Ministry of Education did announce that JEE-Main exam will be conducted four times in a year and for JEE-Main 2021 the four attempts will be conducted consecutively in four months that are February, March, April and May. What does four attempts means, so if you are unable to appear in any first attempt of JEE-Main or you have not performed well in it then also you will have three chances to appear in JEE-Main without wasting your year. So what earlier (till 2020) it was, a candidate will have maximum of two attempts in a year for JEE-Main means in total he/she will have 6 attempts (for three consecutive years) but now that 6 has been converted to 12 means more chances of getting admission to NITs/IIITs/CFTIs. Basically out of the four attempts it is upon you that in which attempt you want to appear or you can also appear for all four attempts and the best result amongst the four results will be taken into consideration for final result and the seat allotment will also be done on the basis of final result. In every attempt the exam will be conducted in multiple shifts so each day there will be two shifts first in in morning from 9 AM to 12 PM and second in afternoon from 3 PM to 6 PM. You have to attend that shift only which will be mentioned on your Admit card.

On December 16th 2020 the application process for JEE-Main 2021 February attempt has been started by National Testing Agency (NTA) which is the conducting authority for JEE-Main 2021. You can apply for JEE-Main from the official portal of JEE-Main which is given below :-

Note that this application process will continues till January 16th 2021 and last date for payment of application fee is January 17th 2021 after which neither application nor application fee will be accepted and then after the correction window will be opened for the applicants from January 19th to January 21st 2021. Admit cards will be available for download from second week of February 2021 and the examination will be conducted from February 23rd to February 26th 2021 in two shifts per day, for February attempt.

A candidate will also have option to apply for one Session or more than one Session (February/ March /April /May 2021) together and pay exam fee accordingly. In other words, if a candidate wishes to apply only for one Session, he / she has to pay Examination Fee only for that Session during the current application period and will have opportunity to apply again for the March/ April / May Sessions.
