The new dates of the Tripura JEE have been announced by Tripura Board of Joint Entrance Examination (TBJEE). The reason for the change of dates is that the Bengali examination in the revised class 12 time table of AISSCE, that was meant to be held on April 27, 2017, coincides with the Mathematics and Biology examinations.
The rescheduling has been done by the Board so that both the papers are not held on the same date. The duration of each of the exams will be for two hours. The paper pattern will be such that there are 50 multiple choice questions of two marks each. There will not be any negative marking.
This year, the exams will be held at 10 different centres of the state. Candidates who clear the paper will be eligible for admission into various Engineering, Technological and other professional degree courses.
Revised dates:
Wednesday, May 3, 2017
Physics- 11 am
Chemistry- 2 pm
Thursday, May 4, 2017
Mathematics- 11 am
Biology- 2 pm
