With the provisional answer key released on May 25 and the objection window closing today (May 26) at 17:00 IST, the next 5 days are the most consequential of the entire JEE journey. This guide walks you through every official date, what the scorecard contains, how cutoffs typically move, and the exact next steps to lock in your IIT seat through JoSAA.

How to Check Your JEE Advanced 2026 Result

Visit the candidate portal on jeeadv.ac.in at 10:00 IST on 1 June 2026.
Log in with your JEE Advanced registration number, date of birth, mobile number and email ID.
Your scorecard will display: subject-wise marks (Physics / Chemistry / Mathematics for Paper 1 & Paper 2), aggregate marks, Common Rank List (CRL) rank, and category rank if applicable.
Download & save the PDF scorecard — you will upload it during JoSAA reporting.

Qualifying Cutoff — What Counts as “Cleared”

Per the official Information Brochure (jeeadv.ac.in/documents/IBEnglish_2026.pdf), the qualifying minima are:

OPEN / Common Rank List: 10% per subject, 35% aggregate (subject-wise) / 17.5% aggregate of maximum marks
GEN-EWS / OBC-NCL: 9% per subject, 31.5% aggregate / 15.75% aggregate
SC / ST / PwD: 5% per subject, 17.5% aggregate / 8.75% aggregate

These are minimum qualifying scores — not closing ranks. The actual closing-rank for any IIT branch is set by the JoSAA round-6 closing-rank report, which is published only after counselling ends.

IIT Seat Matrix — What to Expect in 2026

In JoSAA 2025, IITs offered approximately 18,160 seats across 23 campuses. NITs added 24,525 seats, IIITs 9,940, and GFTIs 10,228 — a total of about 62,853 seats across 128 participating institutes. The 2026 seat matrix is published on josaa.nic.in/seat-matrix/ once registration opens on 2 June.

What Happens If Your Score Is Below the Cutoff?

JEE Main rank still counts: NITs, IIITs and GFTIs allot seats on your JEE Main 2026 rank — you do not need to clear JEE Advanced for these.
State engineering counselling: Most states (Bihar BCECE, UP UPSEE, MP, MH-CET, KEAM, etc.) use JEE Main + state lists.
Private institutions: BITSAT, VITEEE, SRMJEE, COMEDK, etc. have their own admission cycles — their windows are still open in many cases.
Drop year strategy: Only consider if you are confident of a 50+ rank-jump and the financial / emotional cost is supportable.

Next 5 Days — Your Action Checklist

Today (26 May): Submit objections to the provisional answer key by 17:00 IST if any answer is debatable. Each successful objection saves you marks.
27-31 May: Read the JoSAA Business Rules document on josaa.nic.in. Make a tentative branch-and-institute preference list.
1 June (10:00): Download scorecard. If applying for B.Arch at IIT Kharagpur / IIT Roorkee, complete AAT registration before 2 June, 17:00.
2 June (17:00): JoSAA registration opens. Fill choices — you can edit until choice-locking deadline.
4 June: AAT exam (only B.Arch aspirants).
