THE CABINET HAD EARLIER DECIDED THAT ASSAMESE AND ENGLISH WILL BE USED IN ALL OFFICIAL NOTICES

- Sanjay Maurya

NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Tuesday advised candidates to wait for the final answer keys of paper 1 of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main session 2 and not to draw conclusions and get misled by "speculative reports".

This comes amid several candidates and parents taking to social media to allege that the provisional answer key for paper 1 (BE/BTech) of JEE main session 2 issued by NTA on April 11 contain wrong answers for many questions and that many response sheets of students are different from what they actually submitted.

"My daughter attempted 71 questions. During submission, it said 71 questions attempted, and now in the response sheet, it is showing all questions as unanswered. Shocking. NTA is playing with the future of children," Pramod Kamath, a parent, said in a social media post on X.
