According to official updates, answers to six questions across different subjects have been revised after discrepancies were found in the earlier key. Additionally, 28 questions have been completely removed from the evaluation process because of technical issues or ambiguities. These changes have been made to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation process for all candidates.
