JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Exam Dates
The official notice from NTA states that the second session exam will be held from April 2 to April 9. With or before the city slip is released, NTA will announce the precise exam dates.
The JEE Main’s second attempt took place from April 2 to April 9, 2025, last year. The dates of the BE/BTech (Paper 1) and BArch/B. Planning (Paper 2) exams were on April 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8, and April 9, respectively.
