Wrongly 'Unattempted' Marked Drawing Question In JEE Main Answer Sheet Will Be Evaluated: NTA

In JEE Main answer sheet, certain drawing questions of B.Arch and B.Planning papers have been marked 'not attempted' even if they have been attempted by the candidate. In response to a candidate's query on this, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has clarified that the comment is appearing for all students of B.Arch for the same type of question.

This is probably a default setting in the JEE Main answer key for questions, mostly subjective, that have no scope of being challenged.
