Normalisation and Percentile Calculation

Because the exam is conducted in multiple shifts, NTA uses a normalisation formula. This ensures that no student is at a disadvantage due to the varying difficulty levels of different shifts. Your JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Result displays a "Percentile Score" rather than raw marks, indicating how many candidates scored equal to or below you.

Important Dates for Next Session

If your JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Result wasn't exactly what you hoped for, remember that the journey doesn't end here. The National Testing Agency (NTA) provides two attempts for a reason, it’s to give you a chance to learn, adapt, and conquer.

The JEE Main Session 2 is your golden opportunity to skyrocket your percentile. Since the NTA considers the "Best of Two" scores for the final All India Rank (AIR), appearing for the April session is a zero-risk, high-reward move. However, the clock is ticking, and you must act fast to secure your slot.

JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Schedule

Event	Important Dates
Online Registration Starts	February 1, 2026
Last Date to Apply	February 25, 2026 (up to 9:00 PM)
Fee Payment Deadline	February 25, 2026 (up to 11:50 PM)
Admit Card Release	3 days before the exam
JEE Main Session 2 Exam Dates	April 2 to April 9, 2026
Declaration of Result	By April 20, 2026

Importantly, the final All India Rank will be prepared after both attempts, and the best of the two NTA scores will be considered. Therefore, even a small percentile improvement in Session 2 can significantly impact your rank and college options.

Expected Qualifying Cut-Off (Category Wise)

Based on trends, the expected qualifying percentile for JEE Main 2026:

Category	Cut-Off Percentile
General (UR)	93 - 95
OBC-NCL	80 - 82
EWS	80 - 82
SC	60 - 62
ST	47 - 49

However, the final cut-off for JEE Advanced will be declared after JEE Main Session 2.
