JEE Main 2026 January 22 Shift 2 question paper along with memory-based answer key solutions has been released for candidates who appeared in the afternoon shift. The exam concluded at 6 pm and was conducted smoothly at centres across the country as part of Session 1. Candidates can use the question paper and answer key PDF to calculate their probable marks and understand their expected performance in the exam.
JEE Main 2026 Session 1 January Exam Dates
The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 examination is being conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) from 21 January 2026 to 29 January 2026. The exam is held daily in two shifts — morning and afternoon — for admission to undergraduate engineering and architecture programmes. The Shift 2 examination on 22 January was conducted from 3 pm to 6 pm, following the standard exam schedule.
JEE Main 2026 January 22 Shift 2 Paper Difficulty Level
Based on initial student reactions, the difficulty level of the January 22 Shift 2 paper is expected to be moderate to slightly challenging. The paper followed the prescribed syllabus and included questions testing conceptual clarity and numerical problem-solving skills. A detailed subject-wise analysis covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics will help candidates understand chapter-wise weightage and difficulty trends once compiled from student feedback.
JEE Main 2026 January 22 Shift 2 Answer Key
The JEE Main 2026 January 22 Shift 2 answer key PDF has been prepared using memory-based questions recalled by candidates. These solutions are provided by subject experts and coaching professionals for reference purposes. Candidates should note that memory-based answer keys are indicative in nature and the final answers may vary from the official key released by NTA.
How to Calculate JEE Main 2026 Probable Score?
To estimate scores using the memory-based answer key, candidates should first understand the marking scheme. For each correct answer, 4 marks are awarded, while 1 mark is deducted for every incorrect response.
The formula used is:(4 × Number of Correct Answers) – (1 × Number of Wrong Answers)
This calculation can help candidates predict their tentative marks and percentile.
JEE Main 2026 Marks vs Percentile and Expected Cut-Off
Based on previous years’ trends, a score between 190 and 200 marks is expected to correspond to a 99 percentile, though final percentiles will depend on overall difficulty and normalisation across shifts. The official JEE Main 2026 answer key and response sheet will be released on jeemain.nta.nic.in after the completion of Session 1. The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 result is expected to be announced by 12 February 2026, after which category-wise cut-off marks will be declared.
