    JEE Main 2026 Result: How is the result declared?

    To ensure absolute fairness, the National Testing Agency (NTA) declares the JEE Main 2026 results as percentile scores rather than raw marks. This system accounts for the fact that the exam is conducted across multiple shifts, which naturally vary in difficulty. Because a student cannot control whether they receive a tougher or easier paper, the NTA uses a statistical normalization process to guarantee that no one is unfairly disadvantaged by their specific session. Under this method, the score required for a top percentile fluctuates: candidates taking an easier exam must secure higher marks, while those in a tougher shift can achieve the same high percentile with a much lower score.

  • Feb 16, 2026, 17:25 IST

    JEE Main 2026 Result Time Out?

    The NTA is likely to announce the JEE Main 2026 results by 6:00 PM, keeping in line with past year trends. To manage heavy server traffic, multiple direct links will be made available simultaneously on the official portal, jeemain.nta.nic.in. Bookmark this page and stay tuned for the latest result updates!
