JEE was conducted at 622 examination centres in 440 cities. Some of the cities were outside India. The 17 outside India cities were Manama, Doha, Dubai, Kathmandu, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah, Singapore, Kuwait City, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos/Abuja, Colombo, Jakarta, Vienna, Moscow, Port Louis and Bangkok.
The official shared that some cities like Vienna, Moscow, Port Louis, and Bangkok were added for the first time. Also, live CCTV surveillance was inserted in all examination centres to prevent any dishonest behaviour. NTA had seen that live viewing of all the remote locations of all examination centres from the control room located in the NTA premises of Delhi was there. Recording of the CCTV was also undertaken. He further added that 583 observers, 286 city-coordinators, 18 regional coordinators, and two national coordinators were positioned at the examination centres to ensure that the examination flows smoothly. The official also explained how the NTA score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained.
“NTA scores are normalised scores across multi-session papers and are based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the examination in one session. The marks obtained are converted into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of the examinees,” the official said.
The examination was conducted in 13 languages (Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu).
The next session of JEE- Main is set to begin from July 21 to 30. Post both sessions of the JEE (Main)-2022 examination, the best of two NTA scores will be considered to give out ranks.
