Meanwhile, the schools associated with the universities will give free coaching for JEE Main. Further, the varsity suggested the students download the national test abhyas or NTA app to practice for the new entrance exam for free. NTA app was launched by the national testing agency (NTA) – JEE conducting body earlier this year to ensure students get free training for the exam despite the coaching institutes being closed due to the pandemic. The app, claims NTA, gives instant analysis to students.
