JEE Main 2023, Session 1: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Monday released the final provisional answer key of JEE Main 2023 session 1 for BTech and BE papers. The candidates who appeared for the exam can check their results at — jeemain.nta.nic.in.
This year, the NTA dropped five questions in the final provisional answer key. There was one question which had different answers for English and Hindi papers. Except for one question, all the questions that were dropped were from Mathematics.
This year, the questions that have been dropped are:
| Exam Day | Shift | Subject | Question ID |
| January 25 | Second | Mathematics | 7155051689 |
| January 29 | First | Mathematics | 3666942082 |
| February 1 | First | Chemistry | 3666942528 |
| February 1 | Second | Mathematics | 7155051232 |
| February 1 | Second | Mathematics | 7155051248 |
Two numerical type questions have different answers from what was published in the provisional answer key. The questions that have different answers are:
| Exam Day | Shift | Subject | Question ID | Correct Answer |
| January 25 | First | Mathematics | 3666941257 | 120 (For Hindi 112) |
| January 25 | Second | Mathematics | 7155051702 | 6860 or 3 |
Candidates will not be awarded any marks for the dropped questions. Last year, the NTA issued a statement that read, “if none of the options is found correct or a question is found to be wrong or a question is dropped then percent equivalence is to be established on the remaining questions whether attempted or not attempted.”
However, this is only if the question is in MCQ form. If the question would have been a numerical value question, then “four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question.”
