JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Shift Two on 22 January 2026 was held from 3 PM to 6 PM with candidates appearing in the afternoon session across centres nationwide. Memory‑based question papers and answer key solutions from coaching institutes are being shared to help students evaluate performance and estimate scores.
The JEE Main 2026 Session One 22 January Shift Two examination concluded successfully at examination centres, with the afternoon session conducted from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for Paper 1 (BE/BTech). After the completion of the shift, several coaching institutes and education platforms began releasing memory‑based question papers and answering key solutions for candidates to assess their performance.
Question Paper and Answer Key PDF Updates
Students who appeared in the afternoon shift can now access memory‑based question paper PDFs with unofficial answer key solutions provided by leading coaching centres such as Allen, Aakash, Resonance and Sri Chaitanya. These resources include detailed solutions subject‑wise for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, enabling aspirants to calculate probable scores using the memory‑based answer keys. These unofficial keys are typically published soon after the shift ends and help candidates estimate performance before the official answer key is released by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Exam Analysis and Difficulty Level
Initial feedback and expert analysis suggest that the Shift 2 paper on 22 January was conducted smoothly with a balanced question pattern. Coaching institutes are releasing subject‑wise analysis that highlights the difficulty level, expected percentile trends and number of safe attempts for students to benchmark performance.
Score Estimation Using Answer Key
Candidates can estimate their probable scores by applying the JEE Main marking scheme:
- +4 marks for each correct answer
- –1 mark for each incorrect answer
This calculation based on memory‑based answers helps students project expected scores and percentile ranges ahead of the official NTA answer key release.
Next Official Updates
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will issue the provisional and final official answer keys on the JEE Main portal in the coming days. Once released, candidates can download the official answer key and response sheet to accurately calculate their final scores. Students are encouraged to rely only on credible sources for PDFs and solutions, and remain cautious of unverified claims circulating on social platforms.
