What was the answer key procedure?
NTA released the provisional answer key for Paper 1 on April 10. Candidates were allowed to submit objections until April 13, with a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question. The agency also published the recorded responses and questions. Valid objections will be reviewed by experts, and if accepted, the final answer key will be updated accordingly.
How will the scores be calculated?

Why is there controversy?

The agency maintained that its examination process is transparent and that the answer key challenge system is designed to ensure fairness for all candidates.
