How Final Answer Key Affects JEE Main Result 2026
The JEE Main 2026 Final Answer Key is used to calculate your raw score. Once it is finalized:
- Objections are closed
- Marks are calculated using the official marking scheme
- Percentile is generated using normalization
Official Marking Scheme
- Correct Answer: +4
- Incorrect Answer: –1
- Unanswered: 0
Formula:
Raw Score = (Correct × 4) – (Incorrect × 1)
This raw score is then converted into percentile.
How NTA Calculates Percentile in JEE Main 2026
NTA uses a normalization process because the exam is conducted in multiple shifts.
Percentile Formula:
Percentile = (Number of candidates with score ≤ your score / Total candidates appeared) × 100
This ensures fairness across different shifts.
