IIT aspirants can now ask for revision of exam results

The engineering Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) aspirants, who took the IIT-JEE 2012, will now be able to ask for a revision of their exam sheets even before the release of the ranking list.

The decision came out following the problems being faced by the students while checking their results. According to some IIT professors, the IIT-JEE paper has only objective type questions in which the candidates are supposed to circle the correct answer with pen/ pencil. The machine is accordingly automated to mark the right and wrong options. The problem arises in that process, if the candidates do not circle the option properly or put a tick-mark. The machine thus gets confused and marks the answers as wrong in the process.

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi which conducted the IIT-JEE 2012 will be displaying the answer keys (the question papers with the right answers), the optical response sheets as well as the machine-read responses and marks scored on all JEE websites from 3 May 2012 to 10 May 2012. This will enable the students to cross-check whether their answers were marked properly by the machine or not. The students can ask for a revision if any discrepancies occurred during the cross-checking.

The machine reads about 3000 sheets per minute. The initiative aims to give a chance to the students to improve their ranking. In a way the students can also enhance their chances of admission to the colleges of their choice.

No useless requests will be entertained as the representatives from all the IITs would sit together and shift through all the revision requests manually.

The final merit list will be out on 18 May 2012.
