Why did JEE Main 2026 answer keys trigger objections from students? | Education News

Published by Parlour News

After releasing the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 provisional answer keys last week, the National Testing Agency (NTA) found itself at the centre of controversy, with students questioning its credibility and seriousness in conducting a national-level engineering exam. The agency issued the provisional keys on April 11 for exams held between April 2 and April 8, and opened the objection window for students. Hours after issuing the JEE Main session two answer keys, students and educators posted on the microblogging site, X, that they had noticed errors in the Chemistry section of the exam that was conducted on April 5 in shift two. Sudhir Tiwari, a student who appeared in the shift, said he was surprised by all the wrong answers in the Chemistry session. “In the January session, too, they released the incorrect physics and math final answer key. Is anyone responsible for verification?” said Tiwari. Some students are facing challenges where none of the responses are recorded in the NTA-released provisional answer keys.

JEE Main 2026 Session 2 from April 2: ‘Revise notes, do not start new chapters’ | Education News

JEE Main 2026 Session 2 from April 2: ‘Revise notes, do not start new chapters’ | Education News

Published by Parlour News

Preparing for JEE Main Session 2 can be quite daunting due to limited time combined with high expectations, avoiding common mistakes during this critical period can greatly impact your performance. Most students tend to study harder, but what really counts now is how to study smarter. One of the major mistakes that students commonly make is starting new last minute topics. Given that there is only a few days left until the exam date, attempting to learn all new material can result in stress and confusion. Thus, this is an opportunity for you to reinforce the material that you have previously learned. Concentrate your efforts on reviewing main concepts, formulas, and commonly asked topics. Accuracy and clarity should be your foremost goals at this stage rather than new learning experiences or expanding the volume of the material being covered.

BTech in Biological Engineering vs Bio Engineering: Differences, placement opportunities, who should choose | Education News

Published by Parlour News

India’s biotechnology sector has witnessed significant growth over the past decade. According to the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), the Indian bioeconomy has expanded from approximately USD 10 billion in 2014 to over USD 80 billion in recent years, driven by pharmaceuticals, vaccines, diagnostics, agri-biotech and bio-industrial innovation. Government initiatives such as Startup India and production-linked incentives in pharma manufacturing have further strengthened this ecosystem. This growth has increased demand for engineers who understand biological systems and are not just pure biologists. That is where Biological Engineering and Bioengineering enter the picture. If you’re a high school student who enjoys biology but also loves solving problems, the world of engineering right now can feel both exciting and a little overwhelming. As you flip through course brochures or scroll through university websites, you’ll probably keep seeing two very similar-sounding degrees: BTech in Biological Engineering and BTech in Bioengineering.

JEE Main 2026: How to apply the 80/20 rule to ace JEE Mains? | Education News

JEE Main 2026: How to apply the 80/20 rule to ace JEE Mains? | Education News

Published by Parlour News

The 80-20 rule can also be implemented in the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main). Typically, you identify some key chapters, and there are around 20 per cent of chapters that contain 80 per cent of the question paper, meaning 80 per cent of the questions are from those 20 per cent of chapters alone. If you cover those chapters properly, you may not need to study the rest. I am not saying the numbers are accurate, but you can get the point that if we cover some important chapters, we can get more marks than trying to cover all chapters equally. We should be smart about our study, and try to have some expertise on some key chapters. In fact, we may have to identify topics in those chapters and then try and figure out from PYQ’s, which ones get repeated more. On that note, we can take a look at which chapters we should focus on.
