Primary answer
Yes, candidates can appear for both sessions of JEE Main conducted in the same year. Typically, the exam is held twice—once in January and once in April. Students can choose to appear in either one or both sessions. If a candidate appears in both sessions, the National Testing Agency considers the best percentile score obtained across the two attempts while preparing the final ranking list. This system allows students to improve their performance if they did not perform well in the first attempt.
