Why dates move
The schedule depends on the JEE Main result and on the approval the Jharkhand government gives to the board each session. The board itself says its tests are held depending on approval by the respective departments. Aggregator sites list conflicting JCECE exam dates for 2026, ranging from June to July, so rely only on the board's notices.
