Also in the previous academic year, the minister had had several live interactions to make important announcements about competitive exam dates, as well as announcements related to board examinations. This academic year, schools have been closed and classes are being taught digitally. Several state boards and two centrals, CBSE and CISCE, have reduced their curriculum. While many state boards have also postponed their examinations, the central boards have yet to announce the dates.

For JEE and NEET 2021, students are concerned about when the exams will take place, whether there will be two JEE attempts or not, and whether the exam pattern or syllabus will see any relaxation due to the pandemic. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts both tests and has yet to make any official announcements.
