Q1. When was the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 result declared?

The National Testing Agency declared the Session 1 result on 16 February 2026. The final answer key was published the same day. NTA first collected all objections between 4 and 6 February 2026. After review, the corrected key was used to prepare the scorecard. You can download your scorecard from jeemain.nta.nic.in. The result link also works through the CNR portal mirror.

Q2. How can I check my JEE Main 2026 scorecard without a roll number?

NTA does not use a roll number for login. You need your application number instead. Open the result link on the official portal. Enter your application number and password. If the password is missing, choose the Date of Birth option. Fill in the date exactly as given in your Class 10 certificate. Then type the security pin and submit. Your scorecard will open on the screen. Save the PDF right away for future use.

Q3. Is there any minimum qualifying mark in the JEE Main 2026 result?

NTA does not fix any minimum passing mark for this exam. The scorecard only carries raw marks, NTA scores and percentile. There is no pass or fail tag on the result. For JEE Advanced, only the top 2.5 lakh candidates qualify. Category wise cut off lists decide that list. A score above 180 is usually treated as a good score. Cut off marks change every year with paper difficulty.

Q4. Can I challenge the answer key after the result is declared?

No. The challenge window closed on 6 February 2026. NTA then reviewed every objection and released the final answer key. That final key alone was used for the result. Once the final key is out, no further challenge is allowed. Dropped questions are awarded full marks to all candidates. The processing fee of Rs 200 per question was non refundable.

Q5. How is the NTA percentile and All India Rank calculated?

NTA uses a normalisation method to compare candidates from different shifts. The percentile shows the percentage of candidates who scored below you. It is not the same as your raw percentage. Subject wise and overall percentiles appear on the scorecard. All India Rank is prepared after both sessions are over. Rank is not printed on the Session 1 scorecard.

Q6. What is the next stage after the JEE Main Session 1 result?

You must first appear in Session 2 if you want a better score. NTA keeps the best of the two sessions for the final rank. JEE Advanced registration then opens for qualified candidates. JoSAA counselling follows for NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. Choice filling, seat allotment and document verification happen online. Keep your scorecard and certificates ready for every round.

Q7. Are there any age limits or fee exemptions in JEE Main 2026?

There is no age limit for JEE Main 2026. Candidates who passed 10+2 in 2024 or 2025 can apply. Students appearing in 2026 are also eligible. Fees depend on the paper and category. SC and ST candidates pay Rs 500 for Paper 1. Female candidates pay less than male candidates in every category. Payments are accepted through Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking and E Challan.

Q8. What documents do I need for JEE Advanced and JoSAA counselling?

Keep your Class 10 marksheet and Class 12 marksheet handy. Carry the JEE Main scorecard and admit card printouts. A valid photo ID such as Aadhaar, PAN or Passport is needed. Category certificates must come from a competent authority. PwD candidates need a certificate in the prescribed format. Recent passport size photographs should match the uploaded photo. Original documents are checked at the reporting centre.
