In a highly anticipated development for millions of aspiring engineering students across India, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the final results for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains 2026 Session 1 by February 16, 2026, which is Monday. The scorecards, expected just a few hours after the final answer key is published, will mark the culmination of the intense examination period held between January 21 and 29, 2026.
The NTA has confirmed that candidates who appeared for JEE Mains Session 1 will be able to access their scorecards on the official websites, jeemain.nta.nic.in or nta.ac.in. This release comes amid eager anticipation from students nationwide, as the results will determine their progression toward securing seats in prestigious engineering institutions through subsequent counseling processes.
To retrieve their results, students must log in using their application number and password, or alternatively, their application number and date of birth. The NTA has outlined a straightforward five-step process to ensure smooth access for all eligible candidates.
The first step involves visiting the official JEE Main website at jeemain.nta.nic.in. Candidates should then locate and click on the 'JEE Main 2026 Session 1 result' link prominently displayed on the homepage, streamlining the navigation for those checking in real-time.
Once on the result portal, users are prompted to enter their credentials in the candidate login window—specifically, the application number paired with either the password or date of birth. This secure verification step is crucial for protecting candidate data and ensuring only authorized access.
Upon successful login, the JEE Mains scorecards will appear directly on the screen, displaying individual performance metrics from the exams conducted over the nine-day period in late January. Students are advised to meticulously review their scores before proceeding to the final step.
The NTA emphasizes downloading and saving the scorecards for future reference, as they serve as official proof of results during admissions and further competitive processes. With the release imminent, candidates are urged to keep their login details handy and monitor the official sites for any last-minute updates.
