Before declaring the results, NTA will first publish the final answer key, provided that the panel of experts checking the submitted objections finds any discrepancy in the already published provisional/initial answer key. Candidates can check both the results and the final answer key on the official website when announced.
“No individual candidate will be informed about the acceptance/non-acceptance of his/her challenge. The Keys finalized by the Experts after the settlement of the challenge will be final,” the official notice had additionally informed.
