The anticipation is high as over 1.3 million candidates who took the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 exam await their results. Students can access their JEE Main scorecards exclusively at jeemain.nta.nic.in. It is crucial to avoid clicking on links from fraudulent websites that mimic the official NTA site, as many such sites have been reported.

The JEE Main 2026 results will include the NTA percentile score, which is vital for determining the academic paths available to students. This scorecard is essential for admissions into prestigious engineering institutions like NITs and IIITs, and it will also indicate eligibility for the JEE Advanced exam. Additionally, the NTA may release the final answer key and cut-off scores alongside the results, providing insights into the competition level.

Following the JEE Main results, candidates should ensure their documents are updated, including category certificates (OBC-NCL/EWS/SC/ST). JoSAA counseling is set to commence in June, making the scorecard a critical document for the process.

Initial analyses suggest that the Maths paper in certain January shifts was particularly lengthy and calculation-intensive, while the Chemistry section was primarily based on NCERT materials. This variation is expected to influence the distribution of percentiles.

As the JEE Main Result 2026 release approaches, numerous fake websites have emerged, attempting to extract money or personal data from candidates under the guise of providing results. The NTA does not charge fees for result checks, so students should only rely on official .nic.in domains.
