JEE Main Answer Key Dispute Escalates After Objection Window Closes

Expert panels now review challenges ahead of a Feb 12 result timeline.

Overview

  • NTA closed the objection window for the provisional Session 1 answer key at 11:50 pm on February 6 on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
  • Candidates paid ₹200 per question to file challenges via online payment, with fees refunded only if a challenge is accepted.
  • The Coaching Federation of India says it found 17 errors and seeks bonus marks for 10 questions due to flaws largely in Physics.
  • If objections are upheld, the revised key will apply to all candidates without individual notifications, and the final key will precede the results expected by February 12.
  • About 13 lakh candidates accessed response sheets, as Session 2 registration continues and concerns over transparency and quality control persist.
