JEE Main 2025 Final Answer Keys Released: 12 Questions Dropped, Results Expected Soon
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the final answer keys for the JEE Main 2025 BE and BTech exams, which were conducted between January 22 and 30. This announcement, made today, includes a key update: 12 questions have been dropped from the exam, with the majority of the dropped questions coming from the Physics section. These adjustments are part of the final review of the exam's accuracy and integrity. The official answer keys are available on the NTA's official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in, allowing candidates to compare their responses with the final keys.
Dropped Questions and Its Impact
Out of the 12 questions dropped, the highest number of questions were from the Physics section. For those curious about which questions have been dropped, specific question IDs from the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics sections are listed on the website. In the event of a question being dropped, the NTA ensures fairness by awarding full marks to all candidates who attempted or did not attempt that particular question.
What Happens When Questions are Dropped?
If questions are found to be incorrect, dropped, or have no correct answers among the options, the NTA ensures that all candidates are treated equally. For Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), if a question is dropped or deemed incorrect, all candidates will receive full marks for it, regardless of whether they attempted the question or not. Similarly, for numerical value questions, if a question is dropped, all candidates who attempted it will receive full marks.
If a question contains multiple correct answers, candidates who marked any of the correct options will be awarded the full four marks. This practice ensures that no candidate is disadvantaged due to errors or inconsistencies in the exam.
How to Check the Final Answer Keys?
To access the final answer keys, candidates can follow these simple steps:
1. Visit the official websites: jeemain.nta.nic.in and ntaresults.nic.in.
2. On the homepage, click on the link labeled "Answer Key".
