JEE Main Answer Key 2021 – Things to Note

This to-be-released preliminary answer key should not be confused with the final answer key. Candidates must note that it won’t be considered for the preparation of the final JEE Main result 2021.
As and when the preliminary JEE Main answer key is released, candidates will have the provision to file objection/s to answers they deem incorrectly judged, within a certain timeframe.
In order to raise objections, candidates would be required to pay a fee of Rs. 1000 per question through credit or debit card or net banking.
After considering all the objections received on the JEE Main provisional answer key, the exam authority will release the final JEE Main answer key 2021.
The final JEE Main result will later be released based on the final answer key.

Note: The experts are suggesting that the expected JEE Main cut off 2021 is likely to dip this year.
