A non-refundable fee of Rs 200 per question has to be paid by the candidate who chooses to challenge an answer. This can be paid via debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI. However, challenges raised after the passing of the deadline or without the payment of the prescribed fee will not be considered.
The objections raised by the candidates are reviewed by a panel of subject experts, who will then update the answer key if the challenge raised is deemed valid. Based on the revised answer key, the final result is then prepared. However, candidates will not receive individual notifications regarding the outcome of their objections.
"No individual candidate will be informed about the acceptance/non-acceptance of his/her challenge. The key finalised by the experts after the challenge will be final," said the official notice.
