JEE Main 2025: Important Changes Announced by NTA
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a major change for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025. The option to select questions in Section B of the exam has been removed. This change was detailed in a notification released on the official JEE Main 2025 website.
