JEE Main Answer Key 2026- How To Calculate Probable Scores
Using the JEE Main 2026 answer key, candidates can calculate their expected score in the JEE Main exam for the January and April sessions. The given table will help you understand the marking scheme of the JEE Main exam-
Marking Scheme of JEE Main 2026
| Response | Marks |
| Correct response | +4 |
| Incorrect response | -1 |
| No response | 0 |

Based on the above marking scheme, JEE applicants can calculate their probable score using the formula:
JEE Main Score = (Number of correct responses X 4) – Number of incorrect responses
Kindly note that the above formula is to calculate the probable score, as there are chances that authorities may cancel any question or there can be changes in the answers. Hence, the final JEE Main result may vary for a candidate from the one that they have calculated.
