NTA Answer Key Challenge Fee has come under scrutiny from candidates, prompting the National Testing Agency to clarify that the ₹200 charge is refunded when a challenge is found to be valid. The agency said the answer-key challenge mechanism is intended to identify genuine errors and to ensure that any correction benefits all candidates who appeared for the examination. According to NTA, if a student challenges a question and subject experts accept the objection, the revised answer key is applied to everyone affected. NTA also clarified that the ₹200 fee paid for the accepted challenge is refunded to the candidate who raised the objection. The agency said the fee is intended to discourage frivolous challenges rather than generate revenue from genuine objections. The clarification comes after candidates raised concerns that the answer-key challenge process could be expensive, particularly when students want to question multiple answers.
