📌 JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Result: What’s Happening Now

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to declare the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 result by February 12, 2026. You’ll be able to download your scorecard from the official site (jeemain.nta.nic.in) by logging in with your application number and DOB.

📌 What is the NTA Score / Percentile in JEE Main?

Instead of releasing raw marks, NTA reports percentile scores — also called NTA scores — for:

  • Total performance
  • Mathematics
  • Physics
  • Chemistry

These scores show the relative performance of every candidate compared to others in the same session.

📏 How the NTA Percentile (NTA Score) Is Calculated

NTA uses a normalisation formula to adjust for differences across multiple shifts/sessions. Here’s exactly how it works:

📌 Percentile Formula:

Percentile =
100 × (Number of candidates in the session with raw score ≤ your score)
÷ Total number of candidates in that session
(then calculated up to 7 decimal places)

✨ The reason for 7 decimal places is to reduce ties and the bunching of percentiles, especially at the top end where many students have very close scores.

📍 Key Things to Know About the Percentile Score

✔ Highest scorer in each session gets percentile = 100.0000000.
✔ Percentile isn’t an average of subject scores — overall percentile is calculated from total raw marks first, then subject percentiles are separately calculated.
✔ Your All India Rank (AIR) will be based on your best percentile (if you appear in both sessions).
✔ The NTA score reflects how many candidates you’ve scored equal to or above, not your percentage out of 300.
