The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the official schedule for releasing the Session 1 answer key, response sheet, and result dates for the JEE Main 2026 exam.

🗓 Important Dates (Session 1)

Provisional Answer Key & Response Sheet Release
These will be published on the official JEE Main website (jeemain.nta.nic.in) on 4 February 2026.

Answer Challenge Window

Candidates can raise objections if they find errors in the provisional answer key between 4 February and 5 February 2026.

Final Result Declaration
️After reviewing all objections, NTA will declare the final results by 12 February 2026.

 What This Means for Students

Students who appeared in JEE Main 2026 Session 1 (held in January 2026) can download the provisional answer key and their response sheets on 4 February.

The response sheet shows the answers you marked in the exam so you can compare them with the official key and estimate your probable score before the results come.

If you believe there is any incorrect answer in the provisional key, you must submit challenges online within the objection window, usually with a small fee for each objection.

The final answer key and results will be released on or before 12 February 2026, which candidates can then use to download their official scorecard.
