The answer keys for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced, Paper I and II, organised by the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G), were released on Sunday, June 5, 2016.
The answer keys were released for students to check their responses in the exam. If a student feels that either of his answers are correct, but shown otherwise in the answer key, then he can submit feedback to the JEE Advanced Unit, but through fax only.
The candidates don’t have pay to any fee to send feedback and comments about JEE Advanced 2016 official answer keys. They can send the fax on the following numbers as indicated against the subjects:
Physics: +91 44 22578224 OR +91 3222 278242
Chemistry: +91 11 26581067 OR +91 11 26581471 OR +91 22 25720305
Mathematics: +91 512 2590103 OR +91 1332 285346
Prof KV Krishna, Chairman, JEE Advanced 2016, said, “We will accept feedback and comments only through fax and not emails because students tend to send repetitive emails. For example, we will receive 1,000 emails for about 100 queries.”
In the past, candidates have sent repetitive emails about the same issue. To avoid wasting time by going through the same comments over and over again, fax system was introduced by the JEE Advanced unit in 2015. Since, sending a fax message costs money as opposed to emails, JEE Unit hopes candidates will refrain from sending the same fax repeatedly. Krishna added, “We ask our experts to go through the comments, and it is a time-consuming process. But if the feedback and comments are sent through fax, and subject wise, the work is delegated. This way our experts can verify the comments in less time.”
Candidates can submit feedback and comments on or before June 7, 2016, after which JEE Advanced Unit will freeze the process.
Once the review process is finished, if experts suggest a change in the answer keys, or if something is amiss, then the keys will be revised before the results are announced.
JEE Advanced is the entrance test to secure a seat in India’s most prestigious engineering institutes, IITs. The exam was conducted on May 22, 2016, and approximately two lakh students appeared for it.
The result is expected to be declared on June 12, 2016.
