  • In the first attempt, students will get a first-hand experience of taking an examination and will know their mistakes which they can improve while attempting for the next time.
  • If any candidate misses the examination due to reasons beyond control, then he/she will not have to wait for one full year.
  • Candidates are not required to compulsorily take the test in both the sessions though if a candidate appears in both Sessions, the best of the candidate’s NTA scores will be considered.
