JEE Advanced 2018 | CBSE directs schools to conduct online mock tests for aspirants

The initiative aims to familiarise students with the code of conduct, exam pattern and difficulty level of the Joint Entrance Exam 2018. CBSE further asked schools to start these online mock test practice sessions for students.

The students are further advised to go through the detail guideline of CBSE in regard to the JEE 2018 exam pattern.

However, students, who have already cleared the JEE Mains 2018 can access to these practice sessions only.  The initiative has brought a sigh of relief to the students who were facing issues and daring to appear for the same.

More than 18,000 schools under CBSE are set to open computer labs in order to allow JEE 2018 exam aspirants for the online tests. The practice session will be scheduled prior to hold the JEE Advanced exam in May 2018.

While the JEE Mains 2018 exam is scheduled to take place on April 8, 2018, IITs will hold the JEE Advanced exam on May 20, 2018. The JEE Mains 2018 exam will be conducted in both online and offline mode while JEE Advanced 2018 will take place in the computer-based written format only.
