Due to the overwhelming situation caused by the coronavirus, the authorities have decided not to conduct JEE Advanced this year in foreign countries. The main issue with it is the current restrictions that are imposed on foreign travel and visa issuance. All eligible candidates staying abroad may select their preferred choices from the list of exam cities in India for taking JEE (Advanced) 2020.
To that, another decision has been taken to relax the eligibility criteria for admission to IITs for JEE (Advanced) 2020, this was done due to the partial cancellation of class XII exams by several Boards and the non-uniformity associated with the marks given, qualified candidates have to obtain a pass mark in class XII examination irrespective of the marks obtained.
