JEE Main scores are used for entry into a range of undergraduate courses such as engineering, architecture and planning at participating colleges and universities across India.
The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 was conducted in a computer-based format between Jan. 21 and 29. The test was held in two daily shifts, with the morning session running from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed by an afternoon slot from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The NTA has made it clear that no requests for re-evaluation or score verification will be accepted once results are declared.
The agency also stated that it will not engage in any correspondence on such matters. Candidates found to have resorted to unfair means during the examination will have their results withheld.
