The NTA score is a standardised metric used to compare candidate performance across different sessions of the JEE Main exam. Since the test is conducted in multiple shifts, the raw marks are normalised and presented on a scale ranging from 100 to 0 to ensure a level playing field for all aspirants.

It’s crucial to understand that the NTA score does not represent the percentage of marks obtained.

Once both sessions of JEE Main 2025 are complete, the final rank list will be prepared using the higher of the two NTA scores, in line with the official policy.

The National Testing Agency has clarified that the marks for JEE Main 2025 will be determined solely on the basis of the final answer key, which is yet to be released. The agency emphasised that the currently available answer key is provisional, and candidates should refrain from drawing conclusions at this stage. NTA also urged students not to be influenced by speculative reports that may cause unnecessary confusion or anxiety.

Before releasing the final results, the NTA had published the provisional answer key for JEE Main Session 2 on April 10, 2025. Candidates were given a window until April 13, 2025, to challenge any discrepancies in the answer key by submitting objections along with supporting documents. After reviewing all challenges, the NTA will release the final answer key along with the results. This ensures transparency in the evaluation process and allows students to verify their expected scores before the official declaration.

The JEE Main 2025 Session 2 examinations were conducted across multiple days to accommodate the large number of applicants. Paper 1 (BE/BTech) was held on April 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8, 2025, while Paper 2 (BArch/BPlanning) took place on April 9, 2025. The exams were conducted in computer-based mode across various test centers nationwide. Candidates who appeared for both papers will receive separate scorecards for each.

As per the reports, the JEE Main 2025 scores will be normalised. Since the exam is conducted in multiple sessions, the NTA uses a normalisation process to ensure fairness. Candidate scores are scaled on a range from 100 to 0, reflecting their performance relative to others in the same session.

According to Rohit Gupta, Chief Academic Officer at PhysicsWallah, only the top 2.5 lakh candidates will be eligible to appear for the JEE Advanced exam, as per the existing cap. With a higher number of aspirants this year, the qualifying cut-off for the General category is likely to rise—from 93.24 percentile in 2024 to around 93.85 percentile in 2025.

As speculation grows over alleged errors in the JEE Main 2025 provisional answer key, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has advised candidates not to jump to conclusions. In its latest statement, the agency has asked aspirants to wait for the release of the final answer key before making any judgments. This clarification follows multiple complaints regarding discrepancies in the provisional responses.

The NTA follows a strict marking system for JEE Main:

+4 marks are awarded for every correct answer.

-1 mark is deducted for each incorrect response.

0 marks are given for unanswered or marked-for-review questions.

+4 marks are awarded if more than one option is correct and at least one correct option is chosen.

+4 marks are awarded if all options are correct and the candidate attempts the question.

Students can access their results by following these steps:

General/Unreserved: 86+ marks

EWS (Economically Weaker Sections): 84+ marks

Frustration is mounting among students and parents as allegations of discrepancies in the JEE Main 2025 answer key flood social media. Many claim that several answers in the official key differ from correct solutions, while some questions reportedly have incorrect options.

On platform X (formerly Twitter), a user criticized the National Testing Agency (NTA), calling it a "Tragedy of Errors." Students are urging the NTA to review all objections fairly and, if needed, re-evaluate the results to ensure accuracy.

The second session of JEE Main 2025 was conducted between April 2 and April 9.

– Paper 1 (BE/BTech) was held on April 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8

– Paper 2 (BArch/BPlanning) took place on April 9

Before releasing the final results, the NTA had published the provisional answer key for JEE Main Session 2 on April 10, 2025. Candidates were given a window until April 13, 2025, to challenge any discrepancies in the answer key by submitting objections along with supporting documents. After reviewing all challenges, the NTA will release the final answer key along with the results.

Students securing qualifying ranks must now prepare for JEE Advanced 2025, the final hurdle for securing a seat in the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Additionally, those aiming for NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs will need to participate in the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counselling process, which is expected to begin in June 2025.

Candidates who took the JEE Main 2025 exams in January and April may see a slight uptick in the cut-off marks this year. This possible rise is attributed to an increase in the number of test-takers and trends observed in previous years’ cut-offs.

As per the schedule mentioned in the official NTA information bulletin, the results for JEE Main 2025 Session 2 will be announced by April 17.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the JEE Main 2025 response sheets and provisional answer keys on April 11, 2025. However, soon after the release, many parents and students raised concerns over discrepancies in the response sheets. Many claim that the answers marked in the sheets do not match what students actually attempted, while others allege that correct answers were marked wrong or unanswered despite attempts.

After the results, students must regularly check JoSAA, CSAB, and state counselling websites for updates on registration dates, choice filling, and seat allotment rounds. Different institutes release their cut-off ranks based on category and branch preferences. Staying informed about these updates ensures that candidates do not miss crucial deadlines in the admission process.

With the release of results, fraudulent websites and agents often target students with fake promises of "rank boosting" or "seat blocking". Students must only rely on official NTA and JoSAA portals for updates. They should also be cautious of phishing emails or messages claiming to offer admission links. Reporting such scams to the NTA helpline can help prevent others from falling victim.

Qualified for JEE Advanced? These students must shift their focus entirely to JEE Advanced preparation, solving previous years’ papers, and taking mock tests.

Not qualified for JEE Advanced? They can still apply for state-level engineering colleges through state counselling boards or consider private universities that accept JEE Main scores.

JoSAA & CSAB Counselling: Even if not qualifying for JEE Advanced, students with good ranks can secure seats in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA and CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) counselling.

Once the scorecard is downloaded, candidates must verify all details, including their name, roll number, marks, and category. Any discrepancies should be reported to the NTA immediately for corrections. Additionally, students should keep multiple printed and digital copies of their scorecard, as it will be required during document verification for counselling and admissions. Losing the scorecard may lead to complications in the admission process.

To prevent misinformation and scams, students should only check their results on the official NTA websites:

jeemain.nta.nic.in

nta.ac.in

Note: Fake websites often claim to provide early access to results or offer "paid rank improvement" schemes, which are fraudulent. Students must avoid sharing personal details or payment information on such platforms.

For candidates seeking admission to NITs, IIITs, and other government-funded technical institutes (GFTIs), the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducts a centralized counselling process. Students must fill out their choices of colleges and branches in order of preference, and seats will be allocated based on their All India Rank (AIR), category, and availability. It is crucial to stay updated with JoSAA announcements to avoid missing deadlines.

JEE Advanced 2025 is tentatively scheduled for June 2025, and qualified candidates must begin their preparation immediately. Unlike JEE Main, which is conducted by the NTA, JEE Advanced is organized by one of the IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology). The exam consists of two papers, both mandatory, and tests advanced problem-solving skills in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Students should refer to previous years’ papers, take mock tests, and focus on time management to excel in this highly competitive exam.

Students can access their results by following these steps:

The JEE Main 2025 rank list will play a critical role in determining eligibility for JEE Advanced 2025, the next stage for admissions into IITs and other premier engineering institutes. Only the top 2.5 lakh rank holders from JEE Main will qualify for JEE Advanced. The rank is calculated based on the candidate’s percentile score, with tie-breaking criteria applied in case of identical marks. Students aiming for IITs must secure a rank within the cutoff to proceed to the next phase.
