Result date and cut-off details
The results for JEE Main 2026 Session 1 will be announced on February 12. The scorecard will include subject-specific and overall percentile scores as well as JEE Advanced qualifying status. However, the results from both JEE Main sessions are often combined to get the All India Rank and ultimate cut-off.
Given the largest number of JEE Main 2026 candidates taking the test, an increase in the cutoff is expected this year. As a result, the general category JEE Main 2026 cutoff, which was 93.1 in 2025 and 93.2 in 2024, is expected to be between 93.3 and 93.4. The OBC JEE Mains cutoff in 2026 will probably fall between 80.5 and 81.5.
