The authorities conducting the JEE Advanced are scheduled to release
the revised answer keys at 12 pm, today. These answer keys will be
displayed after making the required changes, based on the feedback
submitted by the candidates regarding any discrepancies in the answer
keys published earlier this week.
The answer keys for both, Paper 1 and Paper 2 were published at the official website of JEE Advanced on June 8.
The
students were permitted to give their feedback starting at 12 pm on
June 8 up till 5 pm on June 11. They were allowed to submit the feedback
only through fax, and any communication via e-mail or telephone was not
available. The fax numbers for all zonal institutes were mentioned
along with the answer keys.
The Optical Response Sheet (ORS) and
scanned images, cut-off marks and rank list for preparatory courses have
already been published online.
This year, the pattern for JEE was
changed unexpectedly, and students complained about the excessive
negative marking. Although both the papers were supposed to carry 180
marks, the pattern was altered without any notice. Paper I consisted of
262 questions and Paper II carried 240 questions. Also, the candidates
found most of the questions under the Mathematics and Physics sections
time consuming.
The new negative marking scheme, under which two
negative marks will be awarded for wrong answers, was another shock to
the students who took the exam last month.
The JEE Advanced was
conducted on May 24. Approximately 1.5 lakh students has registered for
the competitive exam, and about 1.25 lakh appeared for it.
