    JEE Main 2026 scorecard is expected to be released around April 20, 2026 , alongside the final results. You will be able to download the scorecard from the official website to see subject-wise and total percentiles and your All India Rank.

    What the JEE Main 2026 scorecard shows

    The scorecard displays your NTA scores (percentiles) for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and the total percentile. It does not show raw marks — only normalised percentiles.

    A clear record of your CRL (Common Rank List) and category-wise ranks appears on the scorecard. For reserved-category candidates, both CRL and category rank are shown; general-category candidates get the CRL.

    Key facts: normalisation, sessions and ranks

    NTA applies normalisation across shifts to adjust for varying difficulty. If you appeared in both sessions , the best of two session NTA scores is used to determine your final rank.

    Tie-breaking rules applied by the authority are: Mathematics > Physics > Chemistry > fewer wrong answers .

    Scorecard details (what you’ll see)

    Item on scorecard What it means
    Personal details Name, roll number, DOB, category
    Subject-wise NTA score Percentile in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
    Total NTA score Overall percentile (best of two sessions if applicable)
    CRL All India Rank based on total NTA percentile
    Category-wise rank Rank within your reserved category (if applicable)
    JEE Advanced eligibility Yes/No based on category-wise cutoff percentile

    Example percentiles and ranks shown on scorecards this year include percentiles ranging from 0 to 100 and CRL examples like 3350, 4200, 2450 . Sample subject percentiles could be Physics 92.70, Chemistry 80.87, Maths 70 , and an overall NTA like 93.25 .

    Why raw marks aren’t shown

    Raw marks vary across shifts and would be unfair without normalisation. NTA provides percentiles so you can compare performance across different session papers.
