The JEE Main 2026 results for the April session are cumulative for candidates who appeared in both January and April. The NTA will consider the best of the two NTA scores to prepare the final merit list.
Based on previous years' trends, the NTA typically declares the Session 2 results within 10 to 12 days after the exam concludes. Since the April session exams end on April 8, 2026, candidates can now check the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Result, which was already declared on April 20, 2026.
Along with the result, the NTA also released the final Answer Key, the list of State-wise toppers, and the All India Rank (AIR) list.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to accessing your JEE Main 2026 Session 2 results:
The scorecard provides a detailed performance analysis. It includes:
The percentile system reflects relative performance across sessions. NTA uses a normalization process to ensure fairness. The final percentile is based on the best of the two sessions, giving every student a fair advantage.
The cut-off marks are the minimum percentile required to qualify for JEE Advanced 2026 for admission to participating institutes.
Qualifying vs Admission Cut-Off
Once the results are declared, candidates have two primary paths:
If you have cleared the cut-off percentile for your category, you are eligible for JEE Advanced 2026. Registration for JEE Advanced usually begins within 2-3 days of the JEE Main result declaration. This is the gateway to the prestigious IITs.
If you do not qualify for JEE Advanced or choose not to appear, your JEE Main AIR will be used for admission into NITs, IIITs, and Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) via the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority)counseling process. Counseling typically begins in June after the JEE Advanced results are out.
