KOLKATA: While the CBSE announced the postponement of one exam and cancellation of another, organizers of the IIT JEE (Advanced) announced that there is no change in the dates of the forthcoming Advanced exam. This year the exam is being organized by IIT Kharagpur and the date has been fixed for July 3. “We hope that the Covid situation improves by then. There is no change in date of the JEE Advanced,” said Debashish Chakraborty, chairperson of IIT JEE (Advanced) and a faculty of IIT-Kharagpur.

There have been no meetings about the change of date or postponement of JEE Advanced. “CBSE exams are near and so the board had to react quickly. However, we are also keeping a close watch. We will wait for the CBSE to first declare the postponed dates of the XII exam and then perhaps we will take it up from there. Perhaps we will take a call by end of May, but as of now there is no change of date,” Chakraborty said.
