    JEE Main Result 2026: How JEE Main Result is Calculated?

    The NTA follows the given steps to calculate the JEE Main 2026 score.

  • Firstly, the raw score is computed per subject (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) and totalled out of 300 marks. Use this formula: Raw Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 4) − (Number of Incorrect Answers × 1). Unattempted questions carry zero marks, with no negative marking for them.
  • NTA converts raw scores to percentiles due to multiple sessions, ensuring fairness across varying difficulty levels. The formula is: Percentile = 100 × (Number of candidates with raw score ≤ your score) / Total candidates in the session. Highest raw scores in each session get 100 percentile; lowest get near-zero, calculated to seven decimal places.
  • For candidates appearing in both sessions, the best NTA scores (subject-wise and total percentile) are considered. The merit list uses these percentiles after tie resolution, not raw marks.
