JEE Main 2026 Answer Key: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the provisional answer key and response sheets for JEE Main 2026. The challenge window has closed, and the NTA will soon release the final answer key for JEE Main 2026. The NTA has removed the provisional key and JEE Main 2026 candidate response sheets from the students' respective logins.
The final JEE Main answer key will be available in PDF format on jeemain.nta.nic.in. This time, candidates will not need any login details to check the final answer key. The key will be available on the website as a PDF.
The final JEE Main 2026 answer key will include the exam date and shift, and subject-wise question IDs, along with their correct answer IDs. Candidates should also check the answer IDs and question IDs on their response sheets and the final answer key to calculate their estimated raw marks in the exam.
Note that the final answer key will not be open for challenges, and the marks you estimate based on the final key will be your most likely score in the exam. The NTA will convert the raw scores into percentile scores to address any discrepancies in the difficulty level across shifts.
