JEE Main 2026 Session-1 Result Timeline Underway as Shift Exams Wrap Up — Candidates Prepare Login Access

Following the conclusion of the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 today, January 29, the National Testing Agency has initiated the result processing phase. Candidates are expected to receive their NTA scores by February 12, 2026, through the official website. This timeline follows the standard NTA practice of releasing scores within two weeks of the exam's end. Students are advised to keep their application numbers ready to access their scorecards via the candidate login window.

The NTA has a well-established Timeline for processing the millions of responses captured during the CBT mode exams. With the final shift ending today, the agency will first release the provisional answer keys, allowing for a 2-3 day challenge window before finalizing the scores.

According to reports the expected date for the Session-1 results is February 12, 2026. This Timeline ensures that students have ample time to evaluate their performance before the second session registration begins in late February.

How to Access the Scorecard

Once the results are live, candidates can download their scorecards from the Official JEE Main Website. It is important to note that the Session-1 result will only display the percentile scores for each subject and the total NTA score, not the All India Rank.

• Key Dates: Provisional keys are expected by February 2, with the final results following this Timeline.
• Login Credentials: Accessing the result requires the application number and date of birth/password on the NTA Login Portal.
• Multiple Sessions: Students should remember that their final rank will be calculated using the best score of the two sessions, as explained in the Official Information Brochure.

Conclusion

Adhering to the specified Timeline is vital for the NTA to maintain the academic calendar for the 2026-27 session. Aspirants should regularly monitor the official portal for the link to the response sheets and the final scorecard. Further details on the normalization process can be found on the NTA Homepage.
