The results for the JEE Main 2026, encompassing both the January and April sessions, are highly anticipated by candidates. This year, the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main was assessed as being of moderate difficulty compared to the previous year. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will disclose the official cut-off alongside the final results. Candidates can access the JEE Main 2026 information through the official websites, which are jeemain.nta.nic.in and nta.ac.in.
To qualify for the JEE Advanced, candidates must not only meet the JEE Main cut-off but also satisfy the eligibility requirements based on their Class 12 board examination results. Generally, students belonging to the General and OBC categories are required to achieve a minimum aggregate score of 75 percent, while those from SC, ST, and PwD categories must secure at least 65 percent.
The determination of the JEE Main cut-off is affected by various factors, such as the total number of candidates who sit for the examination and the overall difficulty level experienced during the different sessions.
For JEE Main 2025, specifically in Paper 1 for BE and BTech, there were 15,39,848 unique registrations for either the January or April session, with 14,75,103 candidates actually participating in both rounds. Among these, 8,33,536 candidates registered for both sessions, and 7,75,383 of them took the exam in both instances.
On April 11, the NTA released the provisional answer key for the second session of the JEE Main exams, with results anticipated to be published on April 20.
Results from JEE Main Paper 1 will be applicable not only for BE and BTech programs but also for other courses, including Integrated MSc, Integrated MTech, Integrated BTech, MBA, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Pharmaceutics, and Bachelor of Design.
The NTA will combine the scores from both sessions for each candidate to compile the overall results and create the merit list and ranking. For those who participated in both sessions, the best overall NTA score will be taken into account for subsequent processing, rather than individual subject scores.
