The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts JEE Main, has clarified the important changes in the way the exam centers will be managed. From past experiences, students had to travel long distances or fight through the crowd and excessive throughput of students at ‘all over’ local JEE Mains centres. For this improvement, the NTA has focused on reducing the number of exam centres and increasing the efficiency of key zones with superior infrastructural facilities. This move will simplify the JEE examination norms, making it easy for the candidates to overcome the logistical challenges of the examination process once and for all.
Furthermore, as brings tremendous news for the students, the NTA has announced that students will be able to change their selected exam center even after submitting their application form. This correction option will enhance the likelihood of students being able to select a centre closer to their home or more suited to their preferences. This will maximize the efficiency of the exam without adding undue strain to any candidates on the day of the exam.
Reasons Behind Changes in JEE Main Exam Centers
Here are the reasons why there are changes in the JEE Mains exam centers:
Infrastructure Needs: There are some centers which do not have adequate facilities and therefore some changes are made or some centers are shifted.
Geographic Considerations: In certain regions demand from the applicants increases, thus, additional centers appear in order to accommodate the local applications and avoid congestion.
Administrative Limitations: Issues such as transportation, accessibility and local problems may cause some centers to be moved or removed.
Adjustment Issues: Some of the centers that are low capacity may be combined with others in order to achieve better organization of the examination process.
Candidate Convenience: New centers are opened in areas where the candidates have to travel large distances in order to provide better accessibility.
All these enhancements make the examination process organized for candidates as well as for exam authorities.
