Internal options in JEE Main 2021
In an effort to make JEE Main 2021 easier for students, the education minister said the government has introduced more internal options. Out of 90 questions, students would have to answer 75.
“We have introduced more internal options in JEE Main. Of the 90 questions in each section, students will have to answer only 75 questions. Students whose meetings have reduced the curriculum by 30 percent will have fewer options, but they will lose nothing. Therefore, students can prepare according to their own boards, ”Pokhroyal added.
In particular, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced earlier this month that the board’s exams in 2021 will be conducted in written mode and not online.
Schools across the country were closed in March to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were partially reopened in some states as of October 15. However, some states have decided to keep them closed in light of an increase in the number of infections.
