The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 results on April 20, 2026 [2].
This release is critical for hundreds of thousands of students seeking admission to premier engineering institutions in India. The results determine the eligibility of candidates for the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced, which is the gateway to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
According to the NTA, the final answer keys have already been released. Students can access their scorecards and merit lists on the official portal at jeemain.nta.nic.in [4].
One notable adjustment to the scoring process involves the Physics section. The NTA has dropped two Physics questions [1], a move that typically affects the final percentile calculations for all candidates. This adjustment ensures that students are not penalized for errors in the same question set.
Candidates are advised to check their results via the same official portal. The process involves entering specific identification details to download the digital scorecards. Once the results are live, the students will be able to see their total marks and the final percentile rank.
As the NTA prepares the final lists, the agency has emphasized the agency's use of the official website to avoid misinformation. The agency has not provided a specific time for the release on April 20, but the results are expected shortly after the final answer keys are processed.
Students should maintain a digital copy of their application form and application number for quick access to the results. The NTA has indicated that any discrepancies in the scorecards should be reported to the the same portal for review.
“The NTA has dropped two Physics questions [1].”
The release of Session 2 results marks the final stage of the JEE Main cycle. Because the NTA dropped two Physics questions, the final cutoffs for the various engineering categories may shift. This creates a higher degree of uncertainty for students awaiting their final percentile, as the scoring normalization process across different shifts is a complex mathematical formula used to maintain fairness across varying levels of difficulty.
