Over 13 lakh candidates who appeared for the engineering entrance exam are waiting for their scores.

Before the result declaration, NTA is also expected to release the final answer key. If any question is found incorrect and is dropped, then the marks will be awarded to all students irrespective of whether the question is attempted or not.

JEE Main Result 2026 Timing

As of now, NTA has not announced any official time for the declaration of the JEE Main 2026 result. The agency usually releases results late at night or in the evening hours. Since no exact time has been confirmed, candidates can check the JEE Main 2026 result and scorecard LIVE to stay updated in real-time.

How to See JEE Main Result?

The result will be available online only. The steps to check the results are:

  • Visit the official website at jeemain.nta.nic.in
  • Click on the ‘JEE Main 2026 Result’ link
  • Enter application number, password and CAPTCHA
  • Submit and download the scorecard

Details Mentioned on JEE Scorecard

The JEE Main 2026 scorecard will include:

  • Candidate’s name and roll number
  • NTA score (percentile) in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
  • Total percentile score

The percentile score will be calculated after normalisation, as the exam was conducted in multiple shifts. Moreover, candidates will find the All India Ranks and JEE Main cutoff along with the results for the April attempt. This is because NTA considers the best of both attempts for rank allotment.
