JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Exam Date Change Notice
The Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2026 Session 1 was earlier scheduled to be conducted from 23 January 2026 to 30 January 2026. As per the latest official notification, the exam planned on 23 January 2026 at centres in West Bengal will not be held on that day.
