Please note that it is very important that candidates carry their Admit Card in person on the day of the exam or else they will not be allowed to write the test. Candidates are advised to check the Admit Card meticulously for the details such as Name, Paper, Date of Birth, Gender, Test Centre Name, City, State Code of Eligibility and Category. Any discrepancy should be immediately reported to JEE Main Secretariat/CBSE for necessary action. JEE Main Exam Center JEE Main 2019 is expected to be conducted in about 258 test locations including 10 locations outside India. All the locations will have the facility of CBT while about 110+ locations are expected to have the facility of PBT. The comprehensive list of test locations and their codes will be available with the official bulletin. At the time of application, candidates must select four exam locations in case of PBT and one location in case of CBT. If a candidate is opting for Paper 1 in a location where only CBT is conducted but wants to appear for Paper 2 as well, he/she has to select four other exam locations with PBT facility. Please note that if the number of candidates for CBT is less than 50 in a city on any scheduled date, then all such candidates will be allotted the last day of the CBT in the same location. CBSE will make all efforts to allot test locations as per candidates’ preferences; however, there can be exceptions due to unavoidable circumstances. CBSE normally does not entertain requests for change of test location; however, the decision of the Executive Director (JAB) will be final in this context.
