Overview
- The National Testing Agency, which reviewed the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 keys Sunday, posted an updated provisional answer key that covers the April 5 Chemistry Shift 2 paper.
- A senior official said a technical glitch mismatched question IDs with correct option IDs, leading NTA to correct 19 chemistry questions in the new key.
- Candidates can now challenge the updated answers on jeemain.nta.nic.in until 11:50 pm on April 13 by paying a non-refundable fee of Rs 200 per question.
- Final answer keys and Paper 1 results are expected around April 20 after subject experts examine all filed challenges under the standard review process.
- The flap followed social posts alleging wrong chemistry answers and at least one claim of a mismatched response sheet, adding pressure for more than 11 lakh examinees who sat across hundreds of test centers.
