The Numbers Behind JEE Main Paper 2 Registrations and Attendance

Every year, the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main Paper 2 sees a surge in the number of registrations. This article provides an overview of the registrations and attendance for the (Bachelor of Architecture) exam in recent years, along with insights into the impact on student success.

Overview of JEE Main Paper 2 Registrations and Attendance

The number of students registered for JEE Main Paper 2 varies annually, with an upward trend observed over the years. For the year 2023, approximately 70,000 candidates registered for JEE Main Paper 2. However, the exact number of students who appear for the examination each year can differ from the number of registrations. As of the current data, the official JEE Main website and announcements from the National Testing Agency (NTA) provide the most accurate and up-to-date figures.

Trend Analysis from 2020 to 2023

The following table outlines the number of candidates who registered and appeared for JEE Main Paper 2 over a few years:

Year Total Registrations Total Appearances January 2020 140,000 110,000 September 2020 110,000 100,000 February 2021 60,000 50,000 2023 70,000 61,366

It is evident that the number of students who appear for the exam is less than the number of registrations, likely due to various factors such as pandemic-related disruptions, logistical challenges, and other personal reasons. For example, in September 2021, only 13,277 out of the registered 35,973 candidates appeared for the exam due to reasons including transport issues in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
