JEE Main 2026 Exam Not Held in West Bengal Today
The National Testing Agency is not conducting the JEE Main 2026 examination in West Bengal on 23 January 2026. The decision has been taken in view of the celebration of Saraswati Puja in the state.

The first shift begins at 9:00 AM and concludes at 12:00 PM. The second shift starts at 3:00 PM and ends at 6:00 PM. Candidates must strictly follow the reporting time mentioned on their admit cards, as late entry is not permitted.

JEE Main 2026 January 21 Exam Difficulty Trends
