Sir,

I had hoped to meet you today during the Wednesday morning open house / meetingless day for Central Govt offices. However, the Republic Day rehersals prevented it and the MHRD was shut till lunch when I visited.

Nevertheless, I bring to your kind notice the shocking admission just now by the NTA on the official website of JEE Mains that at least 10 out of 90 questions posed in the first shift of the JEE Main exams on 10.01.2019 were incorrect and thereby all candidates of the shift have been awarded marks for these questions.

You will surely recall all the various warnings and cautions I have been sending you which are seemingly being ignored in your department.

Since it is quite obvious that this catastrophe has come about because of deep and pervasive corruption of CBSE and JAB whose corrupting virus has been embedded now into the NTA, I am once again fervently calling upon you as the CHAIRMAN of NTA's Governing body to cancel / recall the results of the January exams and not persist with this folly of Mr. Joshi in attempting to "normalise" the marks by percentiles or other such pseudo-scientific psychometric or statistical methods.

There is no way for such massive discrepancies between the papers to be equalised now so as to do justice to the examinees. The entire admission process for the NITs based on these tainted results must also be stopped and I hope that you shall not continue to cover up this SCANDAL but will ensure that all information about NTA and its exam is provided to the citizens immediately so that such corruption is not repeated.

Furthermore, I have noted carefully from Mr. Vineet Joshi's, IAS Supremo ER sheet that he never seems to have practiced much as an engineer after obtaining his Mechanical Engineering degree from IIT. So if he is actually an engineer from IIT I am sure he would be able to explain to you, or to his peers, how the NTA is generating percentile scores to 7 decimal places for tie-breaking when the underlying discrete integral scores (-90 to +360) of these exams only have 3 significant figures or 1 decimal place. Even a class 10 school boy would not make such an error. Or is the performance of a candidate in these NTA conducted CBT's to be contaminated by the allocation of other students to his shift or to other shifts by some secret procedure ? I hope not, for this is exactly what transpired in the SSC CGL online exam scam of 2017 whose results were cancelled !

Hoping that you will see sense to stop this corruption in NTA and shall act very swiftly. I look forward to receiving a reply from you as soon as possible.

sincerely
