This year, according to the official NTA calendar, the JEE Main 2023 Session 1 exams are scheduled to take place on January 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31 and February 1. The exams for January 24, 25, 28 and 30 were conducted smoothly. Earlier, an exam was scheduled on January 27 too, but it was cancelled due to the fear that candidates may face trouble travelling after January 26. The NTA chief Vineet Joshi also told indianexpress.com that one reason behind this change in date was PM Modi’s Pariksha Pe Charcha 2023, which is scheduled on January 27. “There may be some students who are enrolled in that too, and we wanted to avoid any clash,” he explained.
The JEE Main 2023 exam has been rated as medium on the difficulty level. On the first three days, Chemistry was rated as easy to moderate level, with weightage being given to Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. Physics was rated as easy; euestions asked from almost all chapters including Gravitation, Rotational Motion, Work, Power and Energy, Wave Optics, Electrostatics, Modern Physics, Units and Dimensions, Semiconductors, Magnetism, Kinematics, Heat and Thermodynamics.

Former director of IIT Delhi, Ramgopal Rao says these days a lot of the decisions that engineering students make these days are guided by the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) factor rather than any technical reasons. Most of the IIT aspirants want to study computer science in a particular institute and land a particular job immediately after BTech. This mentality is hurting innovation and depriving talent for research programmes. Read full story on indianexpress.com

In Germany, you don’t have 12 years (10+2) of formal education, instead, you have 13 so you have to study one extra year known as ‘studienkolleg’. Once you successfully complete that year, you get admission to the university. Interestingly, if you have cleared JEE Advanced you can get direct admission to German universities.
