Listing out the errors in this year’s IIT-JEE, the answer keys said in paper I, two mathematics questions (No. 55 and 66) have been declared open. There are two other mathematics questions which have more than one set of correct answers.

Question 57 has BC and BCD as two sets of the correct answers.
Question 64 has 3, 9 or 3 & 9 both as three sets of the correct answers.

In mathematics paper II question 53 has been declared open, while question 59 has two set of correct answers. In physics, question 32 has three sets, BC, BD and BCD, as correct answers. In paper II, physics number 32 has two sets, A and AC, as correct answers.

In 2008, due to the efforts of Rajiv Kumar of IIT-Kharagpur, the institute had released answer keys after the admission process was over. It was found that there were mistakes worth 18 marks and cut-off for mathematics was five. Most of the mistakes were also pointed out by KD Joshi of IIT-Bombay. Even this year, Joshi had said many good problems are marred by mistakes. Kumar’s PIL in the Supreme Court on JEE reforms is still pending but his plea to release the answer key before the result has been implemented, though it has been done 35 days after the test.
