JEE Main 2020: West Bengal JEE Main topper Sreemanti Dey urged the state joint entrance board regarding the changes in the schedule of the engineering entrance examination as it clashes with Physics Olympiad that will be held on February 2.
“It is not possible to change the date of the entrance examination already announced, but it will be a relief for students if the board changes the timings of the entrance examination or conduct the test in two shifts as the Physics Olympiad will be held on the same day,” said Sreemanti.
Sreemanti requested the state joint entrance board (WBJEEB) to change the timing of WBJEE from 11 AM to 2 PM, since, the Physics Olympiad timings are from 9-12 PM. However, the WBJEEB stated that there will be no change in the exam schedule.
“Is it justified to change the schedule of the state Joint Entrance Examination at this last moment. Around 90,000 students will appear in the WBJEE this year, changing the schedule is not possible,” said WBJEE chairman Malayendu Saha.
The JEE Advanced will be conducted on May 17, and Sreemanti said the final stage is the toughest as it is meant to tests a student’s concepts are clear or not, “Though the board examination is near, I will study for JEE Advanced regularly, as the study gap will put an effect on my performance,” the topper said.
Sreemanti lives in Dhakuria Railway colony located on the southern fringes of Kolkata, she aims to pursue Computer Science from IIT Bombay.
