Hello Aspirant,

No you cannot take direct admission after phase 1 because counselling will only start after the declaration of final result of SRMJEE 2021 which will be released after the Phase 2 that is going to be conducted in July moth and if any candidate appears for both the phases then the best of two scores will be taken into consideration for final result.

It is known that no changes have been introduced in mode of SRMJEE 2021 and you have to appear for SRMJEE 2021 in person means in offline mode for Phase 1 and Phase 2 as per the latest updates. It is known that SRMJEE 2021 is scheduled for May 23rd and May 24th and there are much chances of it's postponement because of surge in COVID-19 cases but till now there is no any announcement by the competent authorities regarding it's postponement or change of mode of conduction. So please keep yourself updated from either official website or from our article given below :-
