JEE Main answer key is a document that contains the correct answers to the questions asked in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main. The JEE Main exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission into various undergraduate engineering courses in India. The JEE Main answer key is released by the NTA after the completion of the exam. The answer key is released in two phases – provisional and final. The provisional answer key is released first and candidates can challenge any answer they find incorrect by paying a nominal fee. NTA will release the final answer key after considering all the challenges.
The JEE Main answer key is released separately for each shift of the exam. Candidates can download the answer key from the official website of JEE Main. The answer key contains the correct answers to all the questions asked in the exam. Candidates can use the answer key to calculate their probable score in the JEE Main exam. To calculate the score, candidates need to match their answers with the answers given in the answer key and assign marks for each correct answer. There is a negative marking in JEE Main, so candidates also need to deduct marks for incorrect answers.
The JEE Main answer key is a useful document for candidates as it helps them assess their performance in the exam and also gives them an idea about their chances of getting admission into their desired engineering college.
