The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to publish the final JEE Main 2026 Session 1 answer key shortly on the official portal. The Session 1 result, based on the final key, is likely to be released by 12 February 2026 on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is anticipated to release the final answer key for JEE Main 2026 Session 1 soon on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in. This final answer key will be used to calculate candidates’ scores and prepare the results for the January session of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (JEE Main).
JEE Main 2026: Final Answer Key and Result Timeline
The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 examinations were conducted in late January, and the provisional answer key along with the candidate response sheets, was released on 4 February 2026. Candidates were allowed to challenge the provisional key through an objection window that closed earlier this week.
Following the challenge period, the NTA will publish the final answer key, which will include any revisions after reviewing objections. The final keys are expected to be released without login credentials, available as a downloadable PDF on the official portal. Once the final answer key is published, the board will compute corrected scores and percentiles for all candidates. According to the latest schedules and official timelines, the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 result is likely to be announced by 12 February 2026. Candidates can check their results and download their scorecards from jeemain.nta.nic.in using their application number and password.
How to Download and Use the JEE Main 2026 Final Answer Key?
Candidates should monitor jeemain.nta.nic.in for the activation of the final answer key link. Once the PDF is uploaded, it can be downloaded directly without login. Aspirants can then compare their answers against this key to understand their expected performance before results are declared. The final answer key typically provides subject‑wise correct responses for all shifts conducted in Session 1. Candidates can use this document along with their response sheets to calculate tentative scores and estimate percentiles ahead of the official result release.
JEE Main 2026: Next Steps After the Final Answer Key
Following the publication of the final answer keys and results, candidates who wish to improve their JEE Main score can focus on Session 2, which will be held later in the year. Results from both sessions are considered for overall ranking, counselling and eligibility for JEE Advanced. Students and stakeholders are advised to regularly check the official NTA portal and notifications for any updates regarding answer key release, result statements and counselling schedules.
