Union Education Minister Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal has confirmed that JEE Advanced 2021 dates and eligibility criteria will be duly announced on January 7, 2020 (at 6 pm IST). The JEE Advanced 2021 schedule and eligibility criteria will be announced LIVE by the Union Minister through his official twitter handle.
Confirming the same, the Minister tweeted yesterday “My dear students, I will announce the eligibility criteria for admissions in #IITs & the date of #JEE Advanced on 7th Jan at 6 PM. Stay tuned!”.

Such candidates won’t be required to reappear for the JEE Main 2021.
