Earlier, the list had also prohibited aspirants to carry wristwatches of any kind to the examination centre, and it was stated that the invigilators would announce the time after every half hour. (Read: Ahead of JEE Advanced, IITs bring out various changes

However, after receiving protests from parents and aspirants regarding the prohibition, the IITs modified the list on Sunday, May 15, 2016.



According to the modified list, now the students 'will be allowed to bring simple analog watches as smart/programmable watches will NOT be allowed'.

Parents had in their defense argued that carrying watch in the examination centre was essential for time management as JEE Advanced was a competitive exam. (Read: JEE Advanced 2016: Check out schedule and new test centres)
