• This will give multiple opportunities to the candidates to improve their scores in the examination if they are not able to give their best in one attempt.
• In the first attempt, the students will get first-hand experience of taking an examination and will know their mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the next time.
• This will reduce the chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste a full year.
• If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control (such as Board examination), then he/she will not have to wait for one full year.
• A candidate need not appear in all the four Sessions. However, if candidate appears in more than one Session then his/her best of the 2021 NTA Scores will be considered for preparation of Merit List/ Ranking
