JEE Advanced 2026 Paper Analysis Overview
The JEE Advanced 2026 exam was conducted on May 17, 2026, in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode across India. Based on the final answer key and students’ feedback, Matrix JEE experts have done a paper analysis of both paper 1 and paper 2.
The overall exam was rated moderate to difficult, which is aligned and consistent with previous year trends. Paper 1 was relatively balanced, while Paper 2 was rated as more demanding and lengthier. The table below shows the overall difficulty level of each section in both papers with Matrix JEE expert remarks:
| Paper | Subject | Difficulty | What Students & Experts Said |
| Paper 1 | Mathematics | Very Hard | Toughest section in Paper 1. Lengthy, multi-concept, calculation-intensive. Time management was critical. |
| Physics | Moderate–Hard | Conceptual depth needed over formula recall. Mix of standard numericals and application-based questions. | |
| Chemistry | Moderate | Most manageable section. NCERT-based questions rewarded consistent preparation. Best source of marks. | |
| Paper 2 | Physics | Hard | Toughest in Paper 2. Tricky applications and analytical setups demanded thinking under fatigue. |
| Mathematics | Moderate–Hard | Lengthy problems, precise computation required. Match-the-column type questions made a return. | |
| Chemistry | Moderate | Large number of inorganic questions directly from NCERT. P-Block elements are well-represented. |
The image below breaks down and gives insight into which sections were the toughest and easiest, combining both papers.
Matrix Expert Insight: The overall difficulty of the JEE Advanced 2026 paper was similar to that of 2025. The cutoff was 20.56% (CRL) for 2025, and Matrix experts suggest the JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff may fall in a comparable range. Good attempts ranged from 31 to 38 questions out of 54 in Paper 2.
JEE Advanced 2026 Expected Cutoff (Category-Wise Qualifying Marks)
The JEE Advanced cutoff involves two criteria, where candidates will have to clear the minimum percentage in individual subjects and the minimum percentage of total aggregate marks. The official cutoff will be released on June 1 along with the results. Based on past-year trends and Matrix JEE expert analysis, the expected qualifying marks for JEE Advanced 2026 are the following:
| Category | Expected Aggregate % (of 360) | Expected Subject-wise Min % | Approx. Marks (of 360) |
| General (CRL) | 20–25% | 5.8–7% per subject | 72–90 marks |
| OBC-NCL | 18–22% | 5.2–6.5% per subject | 65–79 marks |
| GEN-EWS | 18–22% | 5.2–6.5% per subject | 65–79 marks |
| SC | 10–12% | 2.9–3.5% per subject | 36–43 marks |
| ST | 10–12% | 2.9–3.5% per subject | 36–43 marks |
| PwD (General) | 10–12% | 2.9–3.5% per subject | 36–43 marks |
The figures below are just estimates based on the previous year cut-off trends (2023-2025), and the official cut-off will be updated on June 1, 2026.
Previous Year Qualifying Cutoff Trend (CRL General)
The table below has previous year cutoff trends for candidates to understand the pattern and what to expect for the 2026 exam.
| Year | Conducting IIT | CRL Min Aggregate % | Min Subject-wise % | Difficulty (Overall) |
| 2025 | IIT Kanpur | 20.56% | 5.83% | Moderate–Hard |
| 2024 | IIT Madras | 35% | 10% | Moderate |

| 2022 | IIT Bombay | 24.5% | 8.5% | Moderate |
| 2021 | IIT Kharagpur | 17.5% | 5% | Moderate–Hard |
JEE Advanced 2026 (Marks vs Rank Analysis)
For admission into IITs through JEE Advanced, your All India Rank (AIR) is considered and not the marks or raw score. The table below has an approximate estimate of marks vs. rank for the General (CRL) category. These are just estimates based on past year trends, and this section will be updated with official marks vs rank analysis figures after the results.
| Marks Range (out of 360) | Expected AIR (CRL) | IIT Prospects |
| 300+ | Top 50 | IIT Bombay / Delhi CSE is a top branch at premier IITs |
| 260–299 | 51–300 | IIT Bombay, Delhi, Madras — popular branches |
| 220–259 | 301–800 | Top 5 IITs — most branches |
| 180–219 | 801–2,000 | Top 7 IITs — good branches |
| 140–179 | 2,001–5,000 | IIT Roorkee, Kharagpur, Guwahati |
| 110–139 | 5,001–10,000 | Newer IITs — core branches |
| 75–109 | 10,001–20,000 | Newer / remote IITs — limited branches |
| Below cutoff | No Rank (NQ) | Not eligible for IIT counselling |
Candidates will receive both category rank and CRL rank. The admission seats allotted in IITs are done based on both CRL rank and category-wise ranks. Seat allocation in IITs happens based on both CRL and category rank. Based on your category-wise rank, the chances of getting a better IIT improve due to reservations.
JEE Advanced 2026 Toppers List
Along with the result, we will also find out the JEE Advanced 2026 toppers list, which will be released by IIT Roorkee. Once the results are released on June 1, 2026, Matrix JEE experts will update this section with the official topper names:
- Overall All India Rank 1 (AIR 1): The national topper across all categories will be announced soon by IIT Roorkee.
- Zone-wise toppers: Every year, zone-wise toppers are announced for all 7 IIT zones, which include IIT Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, and Roorkee zones.
- Female topper: The highest-ranked female candidate in the CRL (Common Rank List) and category lists will be announced by IIT Roorkee once the results are released.
- Category toppers: The category-wise toppers in OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD categories will be updated here once released.
- Preparatory course toppers: The preparatory course topper names will be updated here once released.
In JEE Advanced 2025, a total of 54,378 candidates qualified out of approximately 1,80,422 who appeared in both papers. The overall pass rate was around 30.1% in 2025, and out of these, 9,404 were female candidates. JEE Advanced 2026 topper details will be confirmed on June 1, and this page will be updated with names, scores, and states immediately after the result.
What’s Next After JEE Advanced Result? JoSAA Counselling 2026
The next step after the JEE Advanced 2026 exam and results is JoSAA counselling. The IIT admission happens through JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) 2026, which is the centralised counselling process. The registration for JoSAA will start the next day after the results, which is on June 2, 2026. To get into IIT, appearing for JoSAA counselling is the only gateway. Here is a brief overview of the entire JoSAA process:
- Registration & Choice Filling: Register at josaa.nic.in using your JEE Advanced credentials. Fill in your preferred colleges and branches in order of preference. This opens June 2, 2026.
- Choice Locking: Review and lock your choices before the deadline. Locked choices cannot be changed, so think carefully and use opening/closing rank data for reference.
- Round-wise Seat Allotment: JoSAA runs 6 rounds. Each round releases provisional allotment results. You can float (upgrade), slide (same college, better branch), or freeze (accept current allotment).
- Online Document Verification: Upload required documents like the JEE Advanced admit card, scorecard, Class 10 and 12 certificates, category certificate, PwD certificate (if applicable), photograph, and ID proof.
- Seat Acceptance Fee Payment: Pay the seat acceptance fee online to confirm your allotted seat. Failure to pay within the deadline leads to automatic cancellation.
- Reporting at Allotted Institute: During the designated dates, report physically at your allotted IIT with original documents for verification and admission completion.
IIT seats are allocated exclusively based on your JEE Advanced 2026 AIR. A JEE Main rank alone cannot secure an IIT seat. Conversely, if you qualify for JEE Advanced but also have a strong JEE Main rank, you can fill both IIT and NIT+ preferences in the same JoSAA application.
Conclusion
The JEE Advanced 2026 result will decide the next important phase or steps for candidates and IIT aspirants. The JEE Advanced 2026 result will be declared on June 1, 2026, along with the final answer key, AIR ranks, and topper list. Candidates will find out their rank and can do a rank analysis, a college prediction, and register for JoSAA 2026 counselling. Based on Matrix JEE experts’ analysis, the overall paper difficulty and expected cutoff are likely to remain close to previous-year trends. After checking their scorecards, students should carefully evaluate their rank, explore IIT and branch options, and participate in JoSAA counselling strategically to maximise admission opportunities.
