NTA JEE Main 2026 Session 2: Special measures ensured smooth conduct
The agency said it took several steps to ensure the smooth conduct of the examination. This also entailed postponing exams in Riyadh owing to power failure and arranging for candidates in some parts of the Middle East region by means of shifting centres with the assistance of Indian missions.
Manipur was an exception where the test took place without any hitches, despite the challenges faced in the locality concerning internet connectivity and disruptions. This is because of the intervention of the state government.
