NTA Imposes Three-Year Ban on 39 Students for Unfair Means in JEE Main 2024
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has taken strict action against 39 candidates by imposing a three-year ban due to their involvement in unfair practices during the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains 2024.
This decision comes in response to the discovery of candidates possessing multiple application numbers and subsequently receiving multiple scorecards for the same examination.
NTA's Response to Unfair Practices
In a recent notice issued by the NTA, it was emphasized that candidates appearing for the same examination under different application numbers cannot receive multiple scorecards. As per court directives, only the best scores of such candidates have been considered and included in the official scorecard. NTA regulations dictate that possessing multiple application numbers, leading to the issuance of multiple scorecards, constitutes unfair means (UFM) regardless of when this discrepancy is identified.
JEE Main 2024 Results and Concerns
While the results for JEE Main paper 1 (BE/BTech) were declared on April 24, 2024, the announcement of results for JEE Main 2024 session 2 paper 2 is imminent. Candidates awaiting their scores for paper 2 (BE/BTech) can access the results on the official NTA website, jeemain.nta.ac.in.
Following the release of JEE Main 2024 paper 1 results, certain candidates expressed concerns regarding scorecard discrepancies. NTA responded by reiterating its stance through public notices and the JEE Main 2024 information bulletin, clearly stating that multiple applications from the same candidate would lead to result cancellations.
JEE Main 2024 Answer Key and Resolution
NTA has also published the answer key for JEE Main 2024 session 2 paper 2 on its official website, allowing candidates to raise objections until May 1. The final answer key, after addressing all objections, will be used to determine the examination results. This process ensures transparency and fairness in evaluating candidates' performance.
The NTA's implementation of a three-year ban on 39 candidates underscores its commitment to upholding the integrity and fairness of competitive examinations like JEE Main. By addressing concerns related to multiple applications and ensuring a transparent evaluation process through the final answer key, NTA aims to maintain the credibility and trust associated with JEE Main assessments. Candidates are encouraged to adhere to the regulations and guidelines outlined by NTA to avoid any penalties and ensure a smooth examination experience.
