NTA is finalising the post‑objection answer key that will drive normalised percentile scores for more than 13 lakh candidates.

Overview

  • NTA’s official notice sets a revised results timeline of February 16 after the February 12 target was pushed back, with no reason stated.
  • The final answer key will be published on jeemain.nta.nic.in ahead of scorecards and will be the basis for computing results after objection review.
  • Candidates will download scorecards from jeemain.nta.nic.in or nta.ac.in using their application number with password or date of birth.
  • Over 13 lakh candidates appeared in the January 21–29 computer‑based exam; the provisional key challenge window closed on February 6.
  • The Coaching Federation of India has questioned 17 provisional‑key items and sought bonus marks for some, as Session 2 registration continues through February 25 for April tests.
