Delay in JEE Main final answer key 2025

“Sir, as per your initial commitment, NTA is going to release the answer key by 2 pm today but still no update on the website. Can you please confirm what is going on?

Asking to boycott NTA, a candidate said, “Well, I guess probably NTA officials are using a different clock, maybe it's 2 PM (GMT+0 timezone), well done NTA. Literally NTA isn't fit to be a national body for such important exams.”

Another candidate asked NTA to release the answer key and threatened of dying by suicide in case it doesn’t. "2 pm hogyaa answer key release kro ..nahi to fassi laga lunga aur tera name likh Dunga," the user posted in Hindi.

“NTA you have to accept that it is impossible for you to conduct JEE mains properly. Request to PM to take this responsibility from NTA and hand it over to other vendors,” remarked an aspirant.

Another aspirant questioned NTA’s credibility and said, “Here NTA said to declare the answer keys by 2:00 pm , but still no update on website, no answer key declared for JEE Mains 2025 session 2 april attempt. This is the third time it's releasing any blunder errors! Even though there is no punctuality!”

“You are the dumbest testing agency we have ever had. You destroyed both NEET and JEE,” an X user hit out at NTA.
