The session 2 of the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main, which was held this month, has landed in trouble after students, parents and coaching centres claimed serious errors in the papers. Students have taken to social media platform X to express their dissatisfaction after the release of answer keys. As per students, the JEE Main response sheet appears different from their actually attempted questions in the paper. The JEE (Main) session 2 exam was conducted on April 2, 3, 4, 7 and 9.
The National testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the crucial engineering exam. has not yet responded to these allegations.
Students have claimed that the response sheet shared by the NTA does not include the correct number of questions attempted by them.
"Tragedy of errors-JEE Main response sheet is different from what students actually filled in many cases + lost of answers given by NTA," posted one student.

Claiming that NTA was "playing with the future of children", many parents highlighted the mismatch in the response sheet and the actual exam paper.
"Indeed my daughter attempted 71 questions. During submission it showed 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. No response on email," said one of them.

Another parent noted, "My daughter has attempted 50 questions why it is showing 48. So many questions showing wrong attempt. We will mail to NTA for this blunder. I am very worried for her."

As per a report in The Times of India, many students and parents have flagged around nine factual errors in the NTA answer key. Of the nine errors, four are from Physics, three from Chemistry and two from Mathematics. The outlet quoted the director of one coaching institute as saying that objections have been submitted with evidence, who also urged the NTA to either award bonus marks or drop the flawed questions,
