JEE Main Session 2 and CBSE Board 2025 Exam on Same Dates? What Students, Parents Should Know

The JEE Main Session 2 exam is scheduled from April 1 to April 8, 2025, but many CBSE Class 12 students are facing a scheduling conflict. Some board exam dates overlap with JEE Main, as the CBSE exams end on April 4. This has raised concerns among students struggling to balance both crucial exams.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has yet to release the JEE Main Session 2 admit card, which is expected in the last week of March. Until then, students will have no clarity on whether they can appear for both exams. CBSE will conduct major exams like History on April 1, Language on April 2, Home Science on April 3, and Psychology on April 4, from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. On the other hand, JEE Main is held in two shifts daily, and if a student gets the same time slot, they may have to choose between the two exams.
