Submit ₹200 to File a Challenge.

After the release of the JEE Main Session 2 provisional answer key, many candidates may feel that their answers were correct but that the marking was erroneous. In such a scenario, there is no need to panic. You can register an online challenge by paying a fee of ₹200 per question. If your challenge is found to be valid, not only will your marks increase, but the answer key will also be updated.

**Best of Two: Say Goodbye to Stress**

The greatest feature of the NTA JEE Main examination is that it offers candidates two opportunities. If you have appeared for the exam in both the January and April sessions, the session in which your 'NTA Score'—that is, your percentile—is higher will be considered for the final ranking. This system lifts the burden of 'single-day performance' pressure off the students' shoulders.

**Over 1.1 Million Candidates Appeared for JEE Main**

This time around, the competition in the JEE Main examination is considered to be quite intense. A total of 1.123 million candidates appeared for the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 examination. To ensure transparency and prevent any logistical issues during the exam, the NTA established 566 examination centers across 318 cities, both within India and abroad. For this examination, which was conducted across 10 shifts, a normalization process will be applied to every set to ensure that students from any specific shift do not face a disadvantage due to a comparatively difficult paper.

**Begin Preparing for JEE Advanced 2026**

The results for JEE Main Session 2 are scheduled to be declared on April 20, 2026. The top 250,000 successful candidates (categorized according to their respective categories) will qualify for the JEE Advanced examination. Therefore, as soon as you check your JEE Main results, plan your next steps based on your rank. If you have cleared the cut-off, do not waste any time; dive straight into your preparation for the IITs.
