The body has claimed that a single question paper contained several questions that displayed incorrect responses to the answer key issued by the NTA JNU. JNUSU also said that even though the answer key should be accessible by Thursday, many students were not able to download them as the site acknowledged that the key was not available.

The body has also taken note of the fact that the cost to challenge any question is Rs 1,000 and when there are many wrong answers in a single paper, it becomes difficult for the students to challenge. Referring to all these problems, JNUSU has requested the NTA to work on the feedback.

The students also requested that the NTA extend the date of challenging answers, removing the challenge costs and in this case answering emails and calls from students.
