What Happens After Objections
The National Testing Agency has stated that if any objection is found correct, the answer key will be revised by subject experts. The revised answer will be applied to all candidates who attempted that particular question. NTA will not inform candidates individually whether their objection has been accepted or rejected. After expert review, the final answer key will be prepared and used for result declaration. The final key will be treated as final, and no further requests will be accepted after that.
