PTI | May 3, 2012



IITs have decided to post on websites the answer keys of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) 2012 as well as the answer copies of students, in a move which is expected to bring immense benefit to engineering aspirants.

Answer keys of the exam will be displayed on May 3 and the evaulated optical response sheets (ORS) of all the candidates will be displayed from May 5 to 10 on all JEE websites, said IIT Delhi Director R K Shevgaonkar today.

"The actual result will be displayed on May 18. Before that the evaluated ORS will be available on the website from May 5 to 10. Students can log on to the website and see their ORS," he told reporters.

The aim, he said, is to provide students a window to lodge complaints if any before the results are announced.

"If the students has any doubt, then he can log on to the website and can complain. There would be a group of faculty from all IITs who will see if the complaints are genuine and if there is an error, then the correction will be done," he said.

"We want to make the student see (the ORS) and be satisfied that the evaluation was done correctly," he said, adding that he felt few complaints will be lodged.

The ORS of all the candidates will be displayed along with the machine read response and the marks scored.

Candidates can submit revision requests online in case of any perceived errors in the machine read responses online by May 10.

This year over 4.79 lakh students sat for the examination, billed one of the toughest competitive tests. PTI SGI
