Challenging the Provisional Answer Key:

NFSU provides a window for candidates to challenge the provisional answer key if they believe there are any discrepancies. This process is crucial for ensuring fairness and accuracy in the final results.

Challenge Window: The answer key challenge window is generally expected to open in the first or second week of July 2025. Candidates must keep a close watch on the official website for the exact dates and timings.

Procedure:

• Log in to the official NFSU admission portal (https://nfsuadm.samarth.edu.in/).
• Locate the link for “Answer Key Challenge” or “Objection Window.”
• Select the question(s) you wish to challenge.
• Provide clear justification and supporting evidence for your objection.

A non-refundable processing fee is usually required per question challenged. (Based on similar exams, this fee is often around Rs. 200/- per question, payable through online modes like Credit Card/Debit Card/Net Banking/UPI).

Expert Review: All challenges submitted will be reviewed by a panel of subject experts. If a challenge is found to be correct, the answer key will be revised accordingly, and marks will be awarded to all candidates who attempted that question correctly as per the revised key.

It’s important to note that individual candidates will not be informed about the acceptance or non-acceptance of their specific challenges. The key finalized by the experts after the challenge period will be considered final.

Calculating Your Probable Score:

Candidates can utilize the provisional answer key and their recorded response sheet to calculate an estimated score. The NFAT 2025 examination follows a specific marking scheme:

• Correct Response: +1 mark
• Incorrect Response: -0.25 marks (one-fourth of a mark will be deducted)
• Unanswered/Unattempted Questions: 0 marks

By comparing your responses with the provisional answer key and applying this marking scheme, you can get a preliminary idea of your performance.

Following the conclusion of the answer key challenge window and expert review, NFSU will release the NFAT 2025 Final Answer Key. This is generally expected in the third week of July 2025.
