Now those who wish to challenge it, can use any one or more of the option IDs against the next four columns by clicking the check box in them.
After selecting the option, which is correct in challenger’s opinion, scroll down and click “save your claim”.
The next screen then displays all the option IDs challenged. Supporting documents can be uploaded at this stage by selecting the “choose file” option; all documents must be in a single pdf file. Then click “save your claim finally”.
Now all challenges are displayed on one screen. Here click. “Click here to pay fee”. A fee of Rs 1000 per question challenged needs to be paid for every question challenged. Payment can be made through debit card, credit card, and netbanking. NTA will refund the fee of all those whose challenge is found to be correct.
Candidates will get 2 marks for every correct answer. For incorrect answers, there is no negative marking. For unattempted question, neither will any marks be awarded nor deducted.
