NCHM JEE 2020 was supposed to be conducted on 22 June but was later postponed to 29 August. The postponement was done keeping in view the requests received from many students.

Even the then situation of lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 was taken into consideration and decision to postpone NCHM JEE 2020 was taken.

He said in the twitter message that he had advised DG_NTA to postpone NCHM JEE 2020 exam keeping in mind the current situation of COVID-19 and also the requests it received from the students.

However, a trek down the memory lane will remind us that 22 June too was not the actually planned date to conduct NCHM JEE 2020.

The exam date for NCHM JEE was supposed to be 25 April, but COVID-19 situation led to its postponement to 22 June from where it was further postponed to its present date of 29 August.
