JEE Main 2025 Paper 2 Answer Key Released: Check Provisional Keys, Response Sheets, and Raise Objections by May 16: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the provisional answer keys and recorded response sheets for the JEE Main 2025 Session 2 Paper 2 (BArch and BPlanning) exams. Candidates who appeared for Paper 2A (BArch) and Paper 2B (BPlanning) can now check their responses and the official answer keys on the official website: jeemain.nta.ac.in.
Key Details:
- Exams Held On: April 9, 2025 (Paper 2A & 2B)
- Answer Key Release Date: May 14, 2025
- Objection Window: Open until May 16, 2025 (11:50 PM)
- Objection Fee: ₹200 per question (non-refundable)
Candidates who find discrepancies in the provisional answer keys can raise objections online by submitting valid proof and paying the requisite fee. If any objection is found valid by NTA experts, the answer key will be updated, and the revised key will be applied to all candidates, but no individual notifications will be sent regarding the outcome.
What Happens Next?
Once the review process is complete, the final answer key will be released, followed by the JEE Main 2025 Paper 2 results, cut-offs, All India Ranks (AIRs), and the state-wise toppers list.
Context & Updates:
The release follows controversy in April regarding Paper 1 answer key discrepancies, including reports of blank response sheets and incorrect answers. The NTA responded by assuring transparency and encouraging students to rely only on official sources.
Due to increased participation in both the January and April sessions, experts anticipate a slight rise in cut-offs for this year’s Paper 2.
