The decision has been taken after the agency received requests from candidates seeking an extension of the last date for submission of online application forms for the exam, on account of difficulties being experienced by them due to COVID-19.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has decided to defer the National Council for Hotel Management Joint Entrance Examination (NCHM JEE) 2021. The exam was scheduled to be conducted on June 12. The agency released a notification regarding the announcement on their official website at nchmjee.nta.nic.in.

The decision has been taken after the agency received requests from candidates seeking an extension of the last date for submission of online application forms for the exam, on account of difficulties being experienced by them due to COVID-19 and the disruptions caused by the pandemic.

The correction window will be open from June 2-8 for candidates to update or change any details in their application forms.
