The National Testing Agency (NTA) has once again revised the schedule for JEE Main 2026 Session 1, shortening the exam window by a day. While the test was earlier set to be held from January 23 to January 30, the latest update confirms that the examination will now conclude on January 29. In a significant change affecting West Bengal candidates, the exam scheduled on January 23 in the state has been postponed due to Saraswati Puja, and eligible students will be allotted a fresh test date within the already announced schedule.

Exam Date Revised

As per the NTA’s notice, candidates who were assigned test centres in West Bengal for January 23 will be offered another date among the advertised exam days for Session 1. The agency said the decision was taken after receiving multiple representations from candidates in the state owing to Saraswati Puja celebrations.

The official statement noted that all candidates scheduled to appear in West Bengal on January 23 will be “allotted another date of examination among the advertised dates” for the JEE (Main) 2026 Session 1.
