Objection Fee and Payment Details
If you wish to challenge an answer, a fee is required. Candidates must pay INR 50 (Rupees Fifty only) for each question they want to object to. This fee can be paid online using various digital payment methods. It's important to remember that this fee is non-refundable, even if your objection is found to be valid.
Important Steps to Raise an Objection:
- Log in: Access the objection link using your exam login details.
- Select Question: Carefully go through your question paper and the answer key. Identify the specific question number for which you want to raise an objection.
- Provide Justification: You must provide clear and strong reasons or proof to support your claim that the official answer is wrong. This may involve uploading screenshots from textbooks or other reliable sources.
- Pay Fee: Complete the payment of INR 50 per question through the online payment gateway.
- Submit: Review all the details, including your justification and selected questions, before finally submitting your objection.
The deadline to raise objections will be clearly mentioned on the RRB website. Candidates must submit their challenges within this specified timeframe. After the objection period closes, the RRBs will thoroughly examine all received objections. If any objection is found to be correct, the final answer key will be updated accordingly. The results for the RRB NTPC CBT 2 exam will then be prepared and announced based on this revised final answer key.
Candidates are encouraged to keep a close watch on the official RRB websites for further announcements regarding the final answer key, result dates, and the next steps in the recruitment process.
