The April session (Session 2) saw a massive registration of 11,10,904 candidates. This shows the high level of interest in the second attempt for improving scores.

To provide equal opportunity, the exam was held in multiple regional languages including Assamese, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu, besides Hindi and English.

While the B.E./B.Tech. results are out, candidates for Paper 2A and 2B will have to wait a bit longer. NTA confirmed that those scores will be released in a separate notification.

Strict monitoring led to 54 candidates being caught in Session 1 and 57 in Session 2 for unfair practices. Their results have been withheld or not declared due to these violations.

To ensure a fair examination process, the NTA installed the latest 5G Jammers at all examination centers. This move was aimed at preventing any unfair practices via mobile or electronic devices.

The data shows a strong participation from female candidates, with 5,31,593 girls appearing for the examination across both sessions. This marks a positive trend in engineering aspirants.

Out of 11,10,904 registered candidates for the April session, 10,34,330 students actually took the exam. This reflects a very healthy attendance rate of over 93% nationwide.

The NTA has announced the category-wise cut-offs for JEE Advanced eligibility. For the unreserved (UR-ALL) category, the minimum percentile required to qualify is 93.4123549.

Andhra Pradesh has emerged as a powerhouse in this year’s results, with several students including Pasala Mohith and Thunga Durga Suprabhath securing the coveted 100 percentile rank.

26 candidates secured a perfect 100 NTA score in Paper 1. These toppers hail from various states, showing widespread excellence across the country.

In a significant display of competition, a total of 15,38,468 unique candidates appeared across both January and April sessions this year. This massive turnout highlights the growing scale of the engineering entrance.

The National Testing Agency has finally declared the NTA scores for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.). Students can now check their performance and plan their college admission process.

Branches like Computer Science, Electronics, and IT have highest cutoffs in NITs. Candidates need high percentile in JEE Mains Session 2 result to secure these branches in top institutes.
