Reason for Delaying
According to the information provided by the OJEE Committee, there has been no official reason given for the delay in this process. The postponement occurs because the committee wants to carefully review the provisional answer key. This allows sufficient time for thorough checking before releasing the accurate answer key.
Objection Procedure for an Answer
If you believe that any answer in the provisional key is incorrect, you can raise an objection through the official OJEE website. To do this, log in to your OJEE account using either ojee.nic.in or odishajee.com. Once logged in, go to the answer key page and check the questions and answers listed there. Select the question you want to challenge, click on the 'File Objection' link, and choose the correct question ID number. Explain why you think the answer is wrong. You will also need to provide supporting evidence for your claim, such as pages from your textbooks in PDF, JPG, or JPEG format. Lastly, pay a fee of Rs. 100 per question using a debit/credit card, net banking, or Paytm.
Details of the Challenge Fee
The fee for challenging an answer is Rs. 100 per question. This is considered a processing fee. However, if your challenge is approved by the experts, the fee will be refunded. For example, if you challenge 5 questions and 3 of your objections are accepted, you will get a refund of Rs. 300.
What Happens After You Challenge?
After the challenge period ends, a committee will review all the objections submitted by candidates, with the help of subject matter experts. If any objection is approved, the answer key will be updated accordingly. The final result will be based on the revised answer key. Candidates will not receive any notification regarding whether their objection was approved or rejected.
Key Points to Remember
Candidates should only file objections if they have proper evidence to support their claims. Objections without supporting proof will not be considered. You can refer to trusted sources like NCERT books or the official syllabus documents for your evidence. It is important to keep your login details secure and never share your registration number with anyone. You must submit your objection within the given time frame and pay the required fee before May 18, 2026, at 12:00 noon.
