The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued comprehensive guidelines outlining prohibited ‘Unfair Practices’ for candidates appearing in the upcoming JEE Main exams. Violating these guidelines may lead to the cancellation of the examination for the involved students, as they provide an unfair advantage over others. The JEE Main exams are scheduled to take place on January 24, 27, 29, 30, 31, and February 1.
