JEE Main 2026 Score Card — What's Shown

Expected JEE Advanced 2026 Cut-off

These are estimates based on 2023–2025 trends. Actual cut-off varies with exam difficulty and candidate count.

Best of Two Sessions — How Final Rank is Calculated

NTA takes the better NTA score from Session 1 and Session 2 for each candidate and uses that for the final merit list. So:

• If you scored higher in Session 1 → Session 1 score counts
• If you scored higher in Session 2 → Session 2 score counts
• The final AIR is based on this best-of-two score
