JEE Advanced 2026 provisional answer key released 

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has officially released the provisional answer key for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2026 on the official website, jeeadv.ac.in. Candidates who appeared for the prestigious engineering entrance examination can now download the answer key PDFs for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 directly from the portal without requiring any login credentials.

The provisional answer key contains the correct responses to all questions asked in the examination and will help students estimate their probable scores before the declaration of results. Alongside the answer key, it has also activated the online objection window, allowing candidates to challenge any discrepancies they identify in the responses. To download the answer key, candidates need to visit the JEE Advanced website and click on the relevant answer key PDF link for Paper 1 or Paper 2. The document will open on the screen and can then be downloaded or printed for future reference. 

Students can also calculate their expected scores using the JEE Advanced 2026 score calculator. For this, candidates must compare the answers marked in their response sheets with the official answer key while carefully following the marking scheme prescribed in the question paper. This process will provide an estimated idea of their performance and likely rank range.

After reviewing all objections submitted by candidates, the key will release the final answers along with the JEE Advanced 2026 results on June 1, 2026.
