Having 2 sessions can be advantageous to the students in the following ways:

• 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.  
• In the first attempt, the students will get a first-hand experience of taking an examination and will know their mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the second time.  
• 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 he/she 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) – 2022 NTA Scores will be considered for preparation of Merit List/ Ranking.
