Why Did High Court Order The Release Of Revised Answer Key?
During the objection window for the provisional answer key, candidates raised concerns regarding nine questions and two translations in the History paper, alleging errors on January 14.
Following this, candidates claimed that the NTA did not provide any clarification on these objections when the final result was declared on February 4, 2026.
Subsequently, a candidate, Kartikey Kahol, approached the High Court, stating that he had missed qualifying for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) by just two marks due to allegedly incorrect answer options provided by the NTA.
The court directed the agency to award two marks to the petitioner, making him eligible for the JRF. The court also directed the NTA to constitute an expert committee within four weeks to examine the grievances raised by candidates.
The issue had extended beyond a single candidate. Around 60,777 candidates had appeared for the History paper, and the court had noted that the alleged discrepancies could affect a significant number of aspirants.
Students had also pointed out that while raising objections, they cited standard academic sources, including works by historians such as Satish Chandra and Abhishek Yadav. However, they claimed that their objections were dismissed without any detailed explanation.
