The Indian Express··18h ago
IIT Kanpur Director Manindra Agrawal told indianexpress.com JEE Advanced will stay as is for now, not in the immediate future, though a revamp is likely in coming years. He called the exam very coaching dependent. A third attempt is under discussion for some special cases, not a generic extra try. Candidates currently get two attempts in consecutive years.
