@bvlldhist_alt@r7onak How to make rich people give more of their data and how to monetize that data .. maybe Zuck will launch a credit card or take CRED international :)
@amargov@rvaidya2000 It will be . No testing agency has 27 lakhs computers . Total max computers are around 4 lakhs . So 7-8 sessions will be needed at the minimum . I suppose they will give one more chance to improve scores like JEE Mains

@PMOIndia advanced JEE is a greater test of capability than CBSE exam. As a matter of abundant precaution , GoI should consider waiving it this year. This will not dilute the admission standards as JEE advanced is a higher bar than CBSE.
A CBSE student with answersheets under reevaluation and good JEE Advanced rank can apply for seats thru JoSAA. If he/she submits updated marks by 15 July to meet qualification criteria, he/she will be allocated seat as per the rank. This will help a lot of students! @EduMinOfIndia
