    On Monday, the Supreme Court had dismissed a petition seeking postponement of the exams after observing that it will 'put the career of students in peril'.

    'Life should move on even in COVID-19 times. Can we just stop exams? We should move on', Justice Arun Mishra, the presiding judge of the bench, said while dismissing the petitions.

    The JEE (Main) exam is scheduled to be held between September 1 and September 6 and admit cards for the same have been released.

    It is pertinent to note that the NTA has allowed candidates in both the examinations to change their option of Centre City. 99.07% candidates in JEE and 99.87% candidates in NEET exam have been offered the first choice of preference of centre cities.
