New Delhi: The JEE-Mains exam for admission to engineering colleges will be held four times a year starting 2021 to offer flexibility to students and a chance to improve their scores, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank announced on Wednesday.

The first edition of the exam will be held from February 23-26, followed by rounds in March, April and May. “The move will ensure that students don't miss out on opportunities due to clash of exams or the Covid-19 situation,” he said.
