The Ministry of Education has made it mandatory for NTA to establish and create a network of Test Practice Centres (TPCs). This is especially to encourage candidates from remote and rural areas to be familiar with the online mode of test. This is a of cost facility. This facility is implemented to acquaint the candidates with a real-time experience of taking a computer-based test. NTA registered candidates can find a nearby TPC to practice a test on the CBT.

JEE Main 2022 Exam Frequency

For the past few years, NTA has been conducting the JEE Main exam four times a year; however, as per the official bulletin, JEE Main will only be held twice this year — first in April and then in May. That means aspirants will only have two opportunities to crack the test.

As per the report, the decision to conduct JEE Main four times a year was because of the increasing cases of COVID-19 in the country, and since there has been a reduction in the cases, only two attempts shall be sufficient for aspirants to crack the test.

Papers	Frequency	Exam Month
Paper-I	4 2 times a year	February, March, April and May
Paper-II	Two times a year	February and May

Why Conduct the JEE Main Twice?

Here are the benefits to why JEE Main is carried out twice a year:

• Candidates get more opportunities to improve their scores in the examination if they cannot give their best on the first attempt.
• Candidates gain first-hand experience of taking the examination and will know where they went wrong and where to improve to ensure they score well in their next attempt.
• More attempts in a single year reduce the chances of dropping a year and help droppers move further without wasting one whole year. 
• In case a candidate misses the examination due to reasons beyond control (such as the Board examination), he/she will not have to wait for one whole year to attempt the next.
