Correction Window Open

The Correction Window for the January session of JEE-Main 2025, the country’s largest engineering entrance exam being conducted by the National Testing Agency, has started.

With the introduction of the correction facility, some problems are also coming up, for which the students are demanding to increase the correction fields.

Students are Demanding to Increase Correction Fields

Career counseling expert of ALLEN Career Institute said that many students have come forward who have filled their name as per their name in the Aadhar card, while their name is different in the board mark sheet. According to the rules of NTA, only the name mentioned in the board mark sheet was to be filled in the application.

After this issue came to light, now the students are trying to change it but the option to change it has not been given by NTA.

Along with this, the students filled the name of the domicile state in the State of Eligibility, whereas the name of the state from which the 12th examination was taken was to be filled in it.

There is no opportunity to correct this mistake as well. In such a situation, the students are demanding to start the option of change in both these columns.

Students can Change their Category

In the correction, category students can also change their category. If OBC, EWS students had filled the form from the open category in the event of not getting the category certificate and later applied for the certificate, then they can change their category.

According to the rules of NTA, the students who had applied can also apply on the basis of the number mentioned on the receipt given for the application form.
