Check out the official announcement here for the new objection window date for JEE Main Answer Key Challenge 2024

In a recent development, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has adjusted the date for the JEE Main Answer Key Challenge 2024. As per the official notice, this revision is due to a technical glitch in the server. The objection window for JEE Mains 2024 will now remain open until February 9. Initially set to conclude on February 8, the extension aims to accommodate challenges against the provisional answer key.

The JEE Main Session 1 Answer Key 2024 was initially released on February 6. Candidates who participated in the engineering entrance examination can access the provisional answer key for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.), Paper 2A (B.Arch.), and Paper 2B (B.Planning), along with the question papers and recorded responses on the official website at jeemain.nta.ac.in.

For those dissatisfied with the JEE Main answer key, an online challenge can be submitted by paying a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 200 per question challenged, following a specific procedure.
