How Is the Final Answer Key Related to the JEE Main 2026 Result?

The NTA JEE Main final answer key plays a crucial role in result preparation. NTA uses the final key to calculate each candidate's raw marks based on the +4/-1 marking scheme of the exam.

The final answer key is the binding document used for preparing the JEE Main percentile scores. Unlike the provisional answer key, the final key isn't open to any challenges. This makes it extremely important for both candidates and NTA's result calculation process.

NTA will convert the raw scores into percentile scores. Only percentile scores will appear on the final result scorecard.
