JEE Main 2026 Paper 2 result expected by end April or early May
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to announce the JEE Main 2026 Paper 2 result (B.Arch and B.Planning) by end of April or early May 2026 . This follows the answer key release on April 25, 2026 and the objection window which closes on April 27, 2026 .
Paper 2 was held across April 2-7, 2026 . Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) results were already declared on April 20, 2026 . Once the objection window closes, NTA's expert panel will finalise the answer key and prepare scorecards for publishing at the official portal.
When the JEE Main 2026 Paper 2 result will be released
NTA has not posted a firm date, but the result timeline points to end April or early May 2026 . Historically, results are issued about 12–13 days after exams conclude; the current schedule and the April 27 objection deadline make an end-April release likely.
The result will appear at jeemain.nta.nic.in and will cover both Paper 2A (B.Arch) and Paper 2B (B.Planning). Candidates should monitor the official website after the objection window closes.
