JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Exam:
Session 1 of JEE Main 2026 was conducted in computer-based mode between 21 January and 29 January. The test took place in two daily shifts the morning session from 9:00 am to 12 noon and the afternoon session from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
For the BE/BTech papers, the examination was held from 21 January to 28 January. Students and subject experts generally rated the overall difficulty level as moderate, although it varied slightly across different shifts and subjects.
In comparison, last year (2025), the National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the January session results on 11 February. The exam that year was conducted from 22 January to 30 January, and the agency removed 12 questions from the final answer key for that session.
JEE Main 2026: Number of Questions Dropped in Final Answer Key
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has removed nine questions from JEE Main 2026 Session 1 (Paper 1 – BE/BTech), as stated in the final answer key.
The decision was taken after subject specialists examined the objections raised by candidates against the provisional key. Based on their review, the disputed questions were withdrawn.
Under NTA’s marking rules, if a question is dropped, candidates who attempted it are awarded full marks. In some situations, candidates who appeared for the exam may also be given the benefit, depending on the official evaluation policy.
These questions are removed from various shifts of the January session. The final scores and percentile rankings will be prepared after factoring in these changes.
