JEE Advanced 2026 Question Paper

JEE Advanced 2026 Question Paper is a answer key release covered on this page. The key figures are an application window closing 05 May 2026 and a fee of ₹3,200 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 23 April 2026 and close on 05 May 2026, giving candidates 13 days to complete the process. At 13 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. Fee payment closes on 05/05/2026 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. The exam is currently shown for 17/05/2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹1,600 and ₹3,200, depending on category. Payment is accepted via 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.
