Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about JEE Main 2026 result, scorecard, percentile, and what to do next.

1
When was JEE Main 2026 result declared?
JEE Main 2026 Session 1 result was declared in February 2026 and Session 2 result in April 2026. Both results are available on the official NTA website at jeemain.nta.nic.in. The scorecard can be downloaded using your application number and date of birth.
2
What is the difference between JEE Main NTA Score and percentile?
NTA Score and percentile are the same thing in JEE Main — it's the normalized percentile score, not raw marks. A percentile of 90 means you scored better than 90% of candidates in your session. Raw marks are converted to percentile using a normalization formula that accounts for difficulty variations across sessions and shifts. Your percentile is used to determine your overall merit rank.
3
How many students qualified for JEE Advanced 2026?
Approximately 2,50,182 candidates qualified for JEE Advanced 2026 from JEE Main 2026. The category-wise qualifying percentile cutoffs were: General — 93.41, EWS — 75.72, OBC-NCL — 73.01, SC — 52.37, ST — 43.08, PwD — 0.0096. Out of approximately 13 lakh candidates who appeared, the top 2.5 lakh (roughly top 19%) became eligible.
4
What is 90 percentile in JEE Main equal to in terms of rank?
A JEE Main percentile of 90 typically corresponds to an All India Rank (AIR) of approximately 1,00,000–1,20,000. At this rank, you can expect admission to NITs in non-CS branches (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil) and most IIITs and GFTIs. For NITs in top branches like CSE, you generally need 97+ percentile (rank under 30,000).
5
How long is the JEE Main scorecard valid?
The JEE Main 2026 scorecard is valid for admission through JoSAA 2026 counselling only. Scores are not carried forward to subsequent years — you must appear again if you want to use your score in 2027. NTA keeps scorecard download available on its portal until the counselling process concludes, typically by September 2026.
6
What should I do after checking my JEE Main 2026 result?
After checking your result: (1) If 93.41+ percentile (General), register for JEE Advanced 2026. (2) All qualifying candidates should register for JoSAA 2026 counselling starting June 2026 to get NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. (3) Use our College Predictor to shortlist realistic options based on your rank and category. (4) Download and save your scorecard as it will be required during document verification.
7
Can I improve my JEE Main score next year after getting the result?
Yes. JEE Main allows up to 3 consecutive attempts. If you appeared in 2026 and are not satisfied with your score, you can appear in JEE Main 2027 (both sessions). Your best score across all attempts in a year is considered, and for admissions, your best percentile across all attempts is used. However, JEE Main 2026 scores cannot be used for JEE Main 2027 counselling.
8
What happens if multiple candidates get the same JEE Main percentile?
When candidates have identical total percentile scores, NTA uses a tie-breaking formula to assign ranks: (1) Higher percentile in Mathematics, (2) Higher percentile in Physics, (3) Higher percentile in Chemistry, (4) Older candidate gets higher rank. This ensures every candidate gets a unique rank in the merit list despite same total percentile.
