JEE mains 2025 results: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially To be released the JEE Mains 2025 results, accompanied by the final answer key. This year’s exam, conducted in multiple sessions, saw participation from over 9 lakh aspirants, making the competition fiercer than ever. The percentile system, used for fair ranking across sessions, remains crucial for understanding one’s position in the national pool of candidates.
With the results now available, students can check their scores, percentiles, and estimated ranks to gauge their chances for admission into top engineering institutions like NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Experts have already analyzed expected cut-offs for various categories, helping candidates predict their prospects. As the answer key challenge window closes, students should verify their responses and prepare for the next step: counseling and, for some, JEE Advanced.

The NTA will release JEE Mains 2025 results soon along with the final answer key release on its official portal.
Over 9 lakh candidates appeared across two sessions, with normalization ensuring fairness in percentile calculation.
The All India Rank (AIR) is determined by normalized percentile scores, which are crucial for JoSAA counseling and NIT/IIIT admissions.
The exam serves as the gateway to 31 NITs, 25 IIITs, and multiple GFTIs across India.
Understanding Marks vs Percentile vs Rank
Marks: Raw score out of 300, based on correct answers and negative marking.
Percentile: Indicates the percentage of candidates scoring equal to or below your score, normalized across all sessions.
Rank: Assigned based on percentile; a 98+ percentile is typically needed for top NITs, while 85+ percentile opens doors to state-level colleges.
Percentile and rank are critical for seat allocation in JoSAA counseling and eligibility for JEE Advanced.

The NTA releases a provisional answer key first, allowing candidates to challenge responses for a fee of ₹200 per question.
After reviewing challenges, the NTA publishes the final answer key, which is binding and used for result calculation.
Discrepancies must be reported within the stipulated window via the official portal (jeemain.nta.ac.in).
No further objections are entertained once the final key is released.
Expected Cut Off for General, OBC, SC/ST
General: 90–95 percentile
OBC: 75–85 percentile
SC/ST: 50–65 percentile
