“Playing With Future of Children”: Parents and Students Raise Concerns Over JEE Main 2025 Answer Key Errors
Students and parents are raising serious objections to discrepancies in response sheets and factual mistakes in JEE Main 2025 Session 2 provisional answer key released by NTA.
Following the release of the JEE Main 2025 Session 2 answer key by NTA, students and parents began circulating on social media about huge discrepancies in response sheets and factual errors in the answer key, casting doubts on fairness and transparency.
New Delhi:
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has faced criticism after making available the provisional answer key, question papers, and recorded responses for JEE Main 2025 Session 2. Post its release, social media website X (formerly Twitter) saw numerous posts by students, parents, and teachers highlighting serious inconsistencies and bugs in the response sheets.
Students allege that the response sheets provided by NTA are not a true representation of the number of questions they had attempted in the actual exam. As per various users, the recorded answers seem to be mismatched, causing widespread confusion and distress.
“Tragedy of errors, JEE Main response sheet is not the same as students actually filled in most instances + numerous answers provided by NTA are incorrect,” wrote one user, reflecting the frustrations of many others.
The dissatisfaction has also bled into parental outrage. Many parents have posted disturbing accounts of mismatched attempts, where their child’s diligence appears to have been misrepresented.
“Actually, my daughter had given 71 answers. At submission time, 71 attempted came. Now all of a sudden the response sheet indicates ALL of them as unrated! Just unbelievable! NTA is toyed with students’ future. No reply in email,” fumed a disturbed parent.
The following parent’s concern was heard similarly:
“My daughter has tried 50 questions, why is it displaying 48? So many questions are displaying incorrect attempts. We will send NTA for this mistake. I am very concerned for her.”
Adding fuel to the fire, a report by The Times of India brought to light that many students and parents have raised nine factual mistakes in the provisional answer key Four in Physics, three in Chemistry, and two in Mathematics.
The supposed mistakes have created serious doubts regarding the credibility of the evaluation process and its effect on students’ future, particularly with JEE Advanced and college admissions depending on correct scores.
With mounting pressure, stakeholders are calling for NTA to release a clarification and take corrective action immediately. So far, no official statement has been made by the agency on the allegations.
As things develop, students as well as parents wait for honesty and accountability from the examination authority responsible for defining the destiny of India’s brightest students.
