Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Experts and students have raised objections to nine questions in the January session of the JEE Main examination, with demands for bonus marks in seven of them. The maximum number of objections—five—have been reported from the Physics paper, highlighting discrepancies between the provisional answer key released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and expert/student evaluations.
JEE mentor Atil Arora stated that candidates can challenge the provisional answer key by paying a non-refundable fee of Rs 200 per question. The deadline to submit objections is February 6 at 11:50 pm.
According to experts, several questions across different shifts and subjects contain ambiguous or incorrect answers, prompting demands for bonus marks. The disputed questions are as follows:

Chemistry – Thermodynamics
January 22 (Evening Shift):

January 23 (Morning Shift):
Chemistry – Halogen Derivatives
January 23 (Evening Shift):
