NTA has not published the date of the JEE Main 2027 Session 1 result yet. When it comes, you check it on jeemain.nta.nic.in with your Application Number and password, and it shows your NTA scores, not a rank. This page sets out the steps from the January test to the result, in UAE time, and what to do in the week after.

| Step | Date | UAE time |
|---|---|---|
| Session 1 test days | 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 28 Jan 2027 | Shift on your admit card |
| Session 2 form | Tue 5 Jan to Wed 3 Feb 2027 | Closes 10:20 pm on 3 Feb |
| Your answers and the provisional answer key | NTA has not published this date yet | – |
| Final answer key | NTA has not published this date yet | – |
| Session 1 result (NTA scores) | NTA has not published this date yet | – |
| Session 2 test days | 2 to 7 Apr 2027 | Shift on your admit card |
For a guide to the gap, look at last year. In 2026, Session 1 ended on 28 January. NTA posted the provisional answer key notice in early February 2026 and the Session 1 scores notice in mid-February 2026. A past date is a guide only. It is not the 2027 date.
Before the result: the answer key step
Your marks come from the final answer key. So the key step is where you can still change your score.
NTA shows your recorded answers and the paper you sat. Download your response sheet and keep a copy. The bulletin says NTA will not give it out later.
NTA shows the provisional answer key. It is usually online for two to three days. Work out your raw marks: +4 for each right answer, −1 for each wrong one.
Challenge a key if you are sure it is wrong. Each question costs Rs 200, paid online, and the fee is not returned. Three challenges cost Rs 600. NTA accepts only paid challenges, made in time through its link, with proof.
NTA publishes the final key. Experts check all challenges. NTA does not reply to each student. The result uses the final key.
After the result, NTA does not hear complaints about the key, and there is no re-checking of the result. So the key window is the only time to act.
How to check the JEE Main Session 1 result
Watch the public notices. NTA announces the result with a notice on jeemain.nta.nic.in. The time is in India time, so take away 1 hour 30 minutes for the UAE.
Open the result link on the official site. Do not use links shared in groups or by message.
Sign in. Use your Application Number and password. Reset a lost password by SMS code or email link before the result day.
Download the score card. NTA does not post score cards. Save the PDF in two places and print one copy.
Check the name. The score card uses the name on the 10th-standard certificate. Report a problem within 30 days of the result.
What the Session 1 result shows
Four NTA scores
Maths, physics, chemistry and the total. Each is a percentile worked out among the students in your shift, not your raw marks.
No rank yet
NTA makes the Common Rank List and category ranks only after Session 2, from all shifts of both sessions.
Your raw marks
These are your own sum from the response sheet and the final key. Keep the sum. It shows where the marks went.
Look past the total. Compare your maths NTA score with physics and chemistry. Then look at your maths answers on the response sheet. How many were wrong, and how many were left blank at the end? That tells you more about Session 2 than the total does.
Free BMI Maths Test
Result in. Find what cost you marks before Session 2.
The Free BMI Maths Test finds your child’s real maths level and sorts each mistake into one of 6 types, such as CNC (concept not clear) or ROT (ran out of time).
What to do next: Session 2 or not?
The bulletin settles the main worry. If you sit both sessions, NTA uses the better of your two total NTA scores. A weaker Session 2 does not pull down a strong Session 1.
Watch the order of dates
The Session 2 form closes on Wednesday 3 February 2027 at 10:20 pm UAE time. A late form runs from 4 to 7 February. NTA has not published the Session 1 result date, and in 2026 the scores came in mid-February. So you may have to decide on Session 2 before you see your Session 1 result. Decide on how the paper went, not on the result.
Sit Session 2 if
you lost marks to wrong answers or ran out of time in January, or you want a second try at the same paper type. Session 2 runs from 2 to 7 April 2027.
Think twice if
the April dates clash with other tests you cannot move. Even then, the best-of-two rule means Session 2 cannot lower your total.
The Session 2 form uses the same Application Number as Session 1. See our JEE Main registration guide for the UAE for the form steps, and our test cities page before you list your cities again.
For UAE families: the first week after the test
- Save the Application Number and password where both parent and student can find them.
- Note your maths answers from memory the evening after the test, while they are fresh.
- When the key comes, download the response sheet the same day and work out your raw marks.
- Challenge only a question you can prove. Each one costs Rs 200.
- Decide on Session 2 before 3 February, 10:20 pm UAE time.
- Start Session 2 practice the next week. Do not wait for the result.

A JEE-style question on tracking your scores
This is a practice question in the style of JEE Main. It is not a real past question.
Number answer: A student’s maths marks in five practice papers are 52, 60, 58, 66 and 64. Find the variance of the marks.
Mean = (52 + 60 + 58 + 66 + 64) ÷ 5 = 300 ÷ 5 = 60. The gaps from the mean are −8, 0, −2, 6 and 4. Their squares are 64, 0, 4, 36 and 16, which add up to 120. Variance = 120 ÷ 5 = 24. Here variance is the mean of the squared gaps, so divide by 5. A common slip is to divide by 4 and get 30.
Questions people ask about the JEE Main Session 1 result

Your Application Number and password, on jeemain.nta.nic.in. If you lost the password, reset it by SMS code or email link before the result day.

No. Session 1 gives NTA scores for maths, physics, chemistry and the total. NTA makes the rank list only after Session 2.
Should I take Session 2?
