NTA JEEMAIN 2026 Session I Final Answer Key

NTA JEEMAIN 2026 Session I Final Answer Key — a answer key release — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 27 February 2025 and a fee of ₹2,000 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 31 October 2025 and close on 27 February 2025, giving candidates days to complete the process. Applications are not accepted after the closing date, and portals routinely slow down or fail under load on the final day. The exam is currently shown for 21-29 January 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

On qualifications, the notification states: No Age Limit in NTA JEEMAIN Session I January 2026. Candidates Passed 10+2 Intermediate Exam in 2024, 2025 OR Appeared in 2026. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹500 and ₹2,000, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
