Every year, a large number of students do not get selected in the top few after attempting the JEE or NEET exams. This year, out of the 11.5 lakh students who attempted JEE Main, only 2.2 lakh were selected for JEE Advanced.

This has turned out to be a disadvantage for students. As a student, you could either fall ill, face personal issues, have difficulty in commuting to the centre, or it can simply not be your day. Your mindset and performance on one day should not have such a large impact on your future. However, due to the high volume of students, the HRD ministry and education bodies cannot hold exams through the year like GMAT and other international exams.
