JEE Main 2022: Students to protest tomorrow in Delhi demanding third attempt

NEW DELHI: A large section of students have taken to social media demanding third attempt for Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main 2022) citing wrong response sheet, technical glitches during the exam. All India Students Union and JEE Main candidates have also decided to hold protest in Jantar Mantar, Delhi, on August 10, 2022, to demand justice for the engineering aspirants.

Raising voice against the "irregularities in JEE Main 2022 exam", several students have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and CM MK Stalin to look into the matter. Many alleged that they received two different response sheets showing different answers. And several others complained that even though they scored higher marks in the exam, they got a lesser percentile in NTA JEE Main result 2022 session 2. #JEEMainsThirdAttemptForAll is trending on Twitter.

In the viral video, a JEE candidate and his father narrated how the NTA JEE Main 2022 response sheet was different from the one released by the NTA earlier.

The NTA has also dropped six questions and revealed that there is more than one correct answer for five questions in the JEE Main 2022. The NTA had also informed that marks will not be awarded for these dropped questions.
