After BJP MP Subramanian Swamy raised questions about the number of students appearing for the JEE Main exam, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank responded to Swamy's remarks.

Swamy said 18 lakh students had filled the forms for the JEE exam. In response, Nishank said 8.58 lakh students and not 18 lakh had filled the forms for the JEE examination.
 
Earlier, Swamy in a tweet wrote, "18 lakh students downloaded the pass for the JEE exam of which only 8 lakh appeared for the examination last week. It is a disgrace to the country that believes in expansion of knowledge and intelligence."

8.58 lakh students had applied for the JEE Main exam and of these 6.35 lakh candidates appeared for the exam, Nishank added.
 
The Union Education Minister said while conducting the examination, the Central and the state governments extended all possible assistance to the students and he congratulated all the state governments for it.
 
The JEE Main examination was held from September 1 to 6.
 
The results of the JEE Main examination will be declared on September 10. The JEE Advanced exam will be conducted after the results of the main exam are declared.
