Why Taking the April Session is Important
Looking at the trends of previous years, most students appear in Session 2 along with Session 1. The biggest reason for this is that the JEE Main All India Rank (AIR) is released based on the highest NTA Score obtained in both sessions. Therefore, the April session gives students another chance to improve their scores.
