As per the TOI report, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to introduce a lighter syllabus for the JEE-Main next year. The syllabus has been rationalized, considering the syllabus reductions implemented by different education boards in response to the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. The updated syllabus will be published in conjunction with the information bulletin and registration dates next week, the report further said. Furthermore, NTA intends to provide result dates during the registration process to facilitate candidates and institutions in their admission cycle planning.
The curriculum for the upcoming engineering/architecture entrance examination, scheduled between January and April in 2024, has been crafted with due consideration to the syllabus adjustments made by educational boards nationwide.
Various education boards, such as the Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE), and NCERT, had trimmed down the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 in response to the academic disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The present Class 12 cohort was in Class 9 in 2020 when the syllabus rationalization was introduced. Nevertheless, the syllabi for JEE (Main) and NEET-UG remained unaltered.
