IIT-JEE Answer Sheets to be Published Online

Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) committee has decided to publish the checked optical response sheets (ORS) of every candidate. The answer scripts will be made available on JEE’s official website: http://jee.iitm.ac.in/. The answer scripts will be made available from Saturday i.e. May 5, 2012. Through this bold step of committee, candidates will be able to see their answers and analyze the correct responses and individual scores on the JEE website. It is for the first time that the candidates will get a chance to go through their answer sheets to see if they have been evaluated properly.

IIT Delhi hopes to make the selection process more transparent by providing students to go through their answers.

While confirming the news, R K Shevgaonkar, Director, IIT Delhi, informed that students can see the answer keys from May 3, 2012 and their ORS between May 5 and May 10, 2012. However, final results will be displayed on May 18, 2012.

Candidates can submit requests for revision in case of any perceived error in the machine-read responses through the website by May 10, 2012. This year, over 4.79 lakh students took the test for close to 10,000 seats in 16 IITs, present across the country.
