JEE Advanced 2026 Topper List

IIT Roorkee, as the conducting institute for JEE Advanced 2026, is responsible for declaring the result and publishing the official topper list — including the AIR 1 name, marks out of 360, and the total number of candidates who qualified out of those who appeared for both Paper 1 and Paper 2. We do not publish unverified names, scores or counts on this page — please treat any topper name or number you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it matches the official release.

For the full topper list — including top 10 rankers, female topper, category toppers and zone-wise performance — refer to the official JEE Advanced result portal and IIT Roorkee's press release. Avoid treating coaching-claim posts or social media screenshots as final unless they match the official result release.

While we cannot publish the confirmed 2026 AIR 1 name or marks until IIT Roorkee's official release, looking at how the topping score has historically moved out of the 360 total marks (held across Paper 1 and Paper 2, each out of 180) gives useful context. In recent JEE Advanced cycles, AIR 1 scores have generally fallen in a broad band — typically somewhere between roughly 55% and 75% of the maximum marks, varying year to year based on overall paper difficulty and the mix of positive/negative marking across question types.

The topping score is influenced heavily by paper difficulty that particular year: a tougher paper compresses scores across the board (lower AIR 1 marks, lower qualifying cutoffs), while an easier paper tends to push toppers' scores higher along with a general upward shift in cutoffs. Since JEE Advanced eligibility requires qualifying JEE Main first (being within the top ~2,50,000 as per recent years' eligibility criteria) and then clearing JEE Advanced's own category-wise qualifying marks, the topper pool itself is already highly filtered before this final exam is taken.
