According to the National Testing Agency (NTA), the JEE Main 2025 session 2 exam will begin on April 2. However, the clash between the CBSE class 12 board exams and the JEE Main exam schedule has created confusion among candidates, leaving many unsure about appearing for the JEE exam.

Issue at Hand
- Many students appearing for CBSE Class 12 exams have their language papers on April 2 and Psychology exam on April 4, coinciding with the JEE Main exam dates.
- With Class 12 marks being mandatory for undergraduate admissions, students are compelled to prioritize their board exams, potentially leaving them unable to appear for JEE Main Session 2.
Current Status
- Numerous students and parents have approached CBSE and NTA to request a change in exam timings or dates. However, no official communication has been issued regarding this matter.
- NTA is set to release the JEE Main 2025 Session 2 admit cards on March 29, three days before the first exam date. Candidates must download their admit cards to appear for the exam.
This situation has placed students in a difficult position, forcing them to manage two critical exams within a narrow timeframe.
