Every year lakhs of students sit for the JEE entrance exams.

The second phase of the JEE exams have kicked off in April and the number of aspiring students has only increased.

Ever since the National Testing Agency (NTA) has taken over the supervision from the CBSE board, a lot of flexibility and options have come in for the students applying to it from all over the world. Earlier these exams were held only once a year but now they help twice a year and that too with flexible timings. There are 2-time slots that have been approved for the students. The first phase is from 9:30 am to 12:30 and the second time slot is from 2:30 to 5:30 pm.

From a whopping number of 9.4 lakh, the numbers have reached that of 1.61 crores for the April intake.

In the wake of reducing paper usage and also because of everything going online, NTA has also taken advanced steps.
