It is important to note that NTA has announced to conduct JEE Main exam in nine regional languages ​​besides Hindi and English languages ​​in October. However, the IIT has not yet decided that it will also conduct the JEE Main Advanced exam in regional languages.

Most state and central school education boards, including the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), have reduced their board exam syllabi owing to the pandemic. Also, the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) will be conducted next year in February instead of January. The aim behind pushing the exam to February is to provide a chance to students who were not satisfied with the choice of the branch or their score.

IITs have also given a chance to students who could not take JEE Advanced this year due to the Covid-19 to reappear directly for the exam in 2021. The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main 2021) is a computer-based test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) twice a year for admission to 31 National Institute of Technology (NITs), 25 Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), and 28 Government Funded Technical Institutes.
