JEE Main 2022 Highlights: What’s New This Year?
NTA has come up with several major changes in the JEE Main 2022 Exam. The following points enumerate the new changes related to the exam.

- Numbers of JEE Main attempts: In the year 2021, NTA had presented students with four attempts for the JEE Main 2021 Exam, given the prevalent pandemic conditions at that time. However, they have reduced the number of attempts for the JEE Main 2022 exam to two.
- Negative marking: This year also has changes in the marking scheme. JEE Main 2022 will have negative marking in numerical value questions. So, questions in section B will also have negative markings.

- Application correction window: Until the previous year, candidates had the option to correct their application form after submission. However, in 2022 there is no provision for making corrections in the completed application form. Therefore, all the candidates need to fill out details in the application form with utmost care.
- Exam duration: NTA has been considerate towards PwD candidates this year. The candidates of the PWD category will have 20 minutes of extra time for each section in Paper 1 and 2. Thus, they will have a total time duration of four hours.

However, students need to be careful while choosing the prefered locations as they will not have the option to alter their preferences or change the exam centre after submitting the form.
FAQs
1. Can I make corrections to the JEE Main 2022 Application Form?
NTA has mentioned in the latest JEE 2022 information brochure available on the official website that the students will not be able to avail JEE Main 2022 Application Form correction facility. Therefore, students should be extra careful this year while filling the details in the application form. The last date for JEE Main Application form submission is the 5th of April, 2022. Students can visit the official website and fill out the form with utmost care.
2. Can I change the JEE Main Exam Centre?
The option to edit or change the exam centre for the JEE Main is not available for the academic year 2022. So, students will not have access to any correction window for JEE Main 2022. Although this option was available in the previous years, this year, NTA has specified that the students must be attentive while filling out their preferences in the JEE Main Application form. There will be no provisions for correction.
3. How will NTA conduct JEE Main 2022?
NTA will conduct JEE Main 2022 in two sessions: April and May, unlike four attempts in 2021 (mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic). Aspirants seeking admissions in the academic year 2022-23 will thus benefit from the opportunity as they will have two opportunities to improve their examination scores if they cannot perform their best in the first attempt. Moreover, if a student fails to appear for the first session exam due to one or more genuine reasons, such as when the date coincides with the Board examination, then they can appear in the second session. However, they will have to wait for another year. The exam will be in 13 different languages, and the students will have choices in the numerical value questions as well.
4. How to check JEE Main 2022 Application status?
Applicants can check their JEE Main 2022 application status using the JEE Main candidate login link. They will be able to log in with the application number and password they had created when filling out the application. When the application form is complete, the applicants will receive the acknowledgement slip on their registered email ID or contact number.
5. When will NTA provide JEE Main Admit Card 2022?
Students will be able to access the JEE Main Admit Card 2022 online in the second week of April on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in. NTA will offer the admit card in online mode only. Once the JEE Main Admit Card is released, the registered candidates can access it via JEE Mains 2022 login window. The candidates will require the application number and password /date of birth to download the JEE Main Admit Card. All JEE aspirants must carry the admit card and original ID proof to the examination centre.
6. Can a student apply for both the sessions together?
NTA provides the option to apply for one or more than one sessions together. The candidate will have to pay the exam fee accordingly. The candidate will have to fill out a single JEE Application Form even if they have to apply for both sessions. So, if the candidate fills the form now for one session and plans to fill up the application for the other sessions later, they will have access to the same application form.
7. Which session’s score will NTA consider for compilation of JEE Main 2022 Result or merit list?
Since candidates have a choice to appear in the first or second session or both sessions, NTA will issue the scorecard for the sessions they appear. So, if a candidate appears for both sessions, they will have two scores based on their performance in the exam. However, the candidate’s best NTA score amongst the two sessions for which they have appeared will be considered while preparing their JEE Main 2022 Result or preparing the merit list.
