As per the NTA, JEE is conducted in two sessions due to the following reasons:
-This will give two opportunities to the candidates to improve their scores in the examination if they are not able to give their best in one attempt.

-This will reduce the chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste an entire year.
-If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control (such as the board examination), then they will not have to wait for one entire year.
-A candidate need not appear in both Sessions. However, if a candidate appears in more than one Session then his/her best of the JEE (Main) - 2023 NTA Scores will be considered for preparation of the Merit List/ Ranking.
