The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the JEE Main 2026 provisional answer key and candidate response sheets on its official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. Approximately 13 lakh students can now access these documents. Candidates require their application number and password for login.
Challenge the Answer Key
Students have until February 6 to challenge the provisional answer key. The NTA has set up an online facility for objections. Each objection submission requires a non-refundable fee of Rs 200.
What Candidates Can Download
The released materials include:
- Provisional Answer Key: This lists the correct answers for all questions.
- Response Sheet: This shows the answers recorded by each individual candidate during the exam.
Next Steps for Candidates
Candidates should carefully review the provisional answer key against their recorded responses. This allows them to identify any potential discrepancies. If errors are found, candidates should use the objection portal before the deadline.
The NTA will review all submitted objections. The final answer key and subsequent results will be based on this review process. Details regarding the JEE Main 2026 result declaration date are expected soon.
