Since 2016, JEE (Main) has been offered in English, Hindi and Gujarati. Candidates can now also opt to take the test in 10 other vernacular languages – Assamese, Bengali, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. The uncertainty regarding the schedule of Board exams amid the pandemic prompted the agency to offer four cycles from 2021 which, NTA said, “will give multiple opportunities to candidates to improve their scores and reduce the need of dropping a year”.
