In adherence with strict COVID-19 guidelines, students across the country wrote JEE Main on Tuesday, 1 September, after the Union Ministry of Education remained firm on conducting the engineering entrance test from 1 to 6 September.

After the first day of JEE Main, Amit Khare, Secretary of Higher Education, thanked officials for conducting the exam smoothly across the country. “JEE Exam was conducted smoothly all over the country. I would like to thank all the state governments and officials of the National Testing Agency for the smooth conduct of the examination,” Khare said, according to ANI.

According to health guidelines issued by the National Testing Agency, students must maintain social distancing at the exam centre and carry a written self-declaration stating that they do not have any symptoms associated with COVID-19, have not come in contact with anyone who has tested positive for the virus or had any symptom in the recent past.
