The subject experts at NTA will evaluate every objection raised. In case an objection is considered valid, the answer key will be revised, and this revision will apply to all aspirants. The result will then be decided keeping in view the revised answer key. Remember that NTA will not inform you of the status of your objection either.

One point to check before publishing this article: there is a discrepancy between the two sources you have provided. While your first email states that the fee is "refundable in full for accepted challenges," this article mentions it to be "non-refundable". These statements cannot both be true. The exact statement regarding fee must be provided in the notice released by NTA or the information bulletin. I left the fee as "Rs 200 per question" to make it easier for you to put in the right fee structure after verifying it.
