Joint Entrance Board Chairman Gautam Pal said, “The results are being declared in exactly 25 days. Before announcing the results, I want to inform you about a few things. Some special measures were introduced in this exam. You were allowed to take a copy of the OMR sheet home, while one remained with the board. Free-scoring was introduced this time. Certain items were prohibited in the exam. We provided the answer key, and you were allowed to challenge it. You challenged it in the same manner in which the answer key is given tomorrow. The final results have been prepared after considering those challenges.”
Counselling is expected to commence by the end of this month. Earlier, when counselling was conducted elsewhere, candidates could not register again once they had applied, and choice filling was allowed only once. Now, registration can be done 3 times, and choice filling can also be done 3 times. This is the first time the board is implementing this system.
