The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 examination took place from January 21 to January 29 and was conducted in a computer-based format. The exam was held in two shifts each day: the morning shift from 9 AM to 12 noon and the afternoon shift from 3 PM to 6 PM.
The results for session one will be announced by February 16.
In addition to the results, the NTA will release the final answer key, which will allow candidates to estimate their probable scores based on the JEE Main marking scheme. More than 13 lakh candidates appeared for the exam, competing for seats in various engineering, architecture, and planning programmes. The NTA uses a normalisation process to convert raw marks into a standardised NTA score or percentile ranging from 100 to 0, ensuring fairness across different shifts and exam papers.
