Hyderabad: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to announce the results of the just-concluded first slot of JEE Main-2019 examinations by the end of this January.

The five-day examinations was held in 467 centres in 258 cities, including nine centres outside India in two shifts. Of a total of 11,09,250 registered candidates, 9,29,198 were registered for paper-I and 1,80,052 for paper-II. According to the post paper analysis, the overall difficulty of the test was moderate to tough, making the experts predict the overall cut-off mark might be around 85 per cent.

Of the total students appeared nearly 2.5 lakh students are expected to be declared eligible for the second slot of the JEE Main-2019, which would be held in the month of April this year. It may be mentioned here that starting from this year the JEE Main examination is to be held for two times in a year, the first in the month of January and the second slot in the month of April every year.
