JEE Man 2026 Session 2 Answer Key Issues: Students Reporting Unusual Negative Marks
Several candidates reported issues with their Chemistry answers within hours of the answer key's release. Let's take a look at the common comment that is surfacing on various social media platforms:
- Some of the students have said that their responses do not match the official answer key at all.
- Most candidates who appeared for the April 5 exam said that they received 10 to 20 bad marks in Chemistry alone.
- However, the issue appears to be limited to Chemistry. Other subjects for the same day, like Physics and Math, appear unaffected.
This has caused students to get stressed, and some have even emailed, posted, or called to express their concerns over receiving unexpectedly low scores. As the number of claims is rising, the first feedback suggests that this might not be a one-time thing. If the problem is real, it probably affects a lot of students from the same shift. This suggests that there may be a mistake in the official answer key instead of individual faults.
