JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Results Declared by National Testing Agency

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially announced the results of JEE Main 2026 Session 1, conducted in January across multiple exam centres in India and abroad. Candidates who appeared for the engineering entrance examination can now access their scorecards through the official result portal using their application number and login credentials.

The results have been prepared based on the final answer key released after reviewing objections raised by candidates against the provisional answer key.

Final Answer Key Released with Dropped Questions

Before declaring the results, the NTA published the final answer key for all shifts of JEE Main Session 1. After examining student challenges, the agency dropped several questions that were found to be ambiguous or incorrect.

As per NTA’s evaluation policy, full marks have been awarded to all candidates who attempted the dropped questions, irrespective of the option chosen. This adjustment has been reflected in the final score computation to ensure fairness and transparency in the assessment process.
