JEE Main 2022: The National Testing Agency (NTA), on July 06, 2022 evening, released JEE Main 2022 Session 1 Final Answer Key after reviewing and implementing all the valid objections raised against the preliminary key. Unlike the preliminary answer key, 4 questions from the overall shifts have been dropped in the final answer key.
Two of these dropped questions are from each 24/06/2022 – Shift 1 and 26/06/2022 – Shift 1 while the rest two are from a single shift, 29/06/2022 – Shift 2.
