The scheduling conflict between JEE Main 2025 Session 2 and CBSE Class 12 board exams in the first week of April has caused anxiety among students and parents. Many are urging the National Testing Agency (NTA) and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to reconsider the timetable to avoid undue stress.
Exam Date Clash: Why Are Students Worried?
The JEE Main 2025 Session 2 exams are set to take place between April 2 and April 9, 2025. However, some CBSE Class 12 board exams fall within the same period, including:
-
April 2 – Language papers (Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, etc.)
-
April 3 – Home Science
-
April 4 – Psychology
With both exams being crucial—JEE Main for engineering aspirants and CBSE Class 12 for overall academic performance—students are struggling to balance their preparations. Many have taken to social media, requesting authorities to reschedule or adjust exam timings to ease the burden.
Will NTA or CBSE Reschedule the Exams?
As of now, there is no official statement from NTA regarding any changes in the JEE Main exam schedule. Reports suggest that an online meeting between NTA officials and exam coordinators might be held to discuss the issue.
Despite the concerns, JEE Main 2025 Session 2 is expected to proceed as scheduled. Additionally, admit cards for the exam are likely to be released on March 29, 2025.
What Should Students Do?
Until an official update is provided, students are advised to:
Monitor official announcements from CBSE and NTA.
Plan their study schedules effectively to accommodate both exams.
Stay prepared for any possible adjustments in the coming days.
With thousands of students affected, the final decision from CBSE and NTA will be crucial in determining how this issue is resolved.
