Students have also pointed out that with the new exam pattern, they will need extra time to study for the medical exam. Moreover, the number of questions to be attempted is high and they will get only one chance to appear in the exam to crack JEE Main in a year.

He had said that this is “not the time for PM’s #Mann ki Baat, in this difficult time we have to listen #Students’ Mann ki Baat.”
