JEE Advanced Toppers 2026: Qualifying Marks for Rank List
The JEE Advanced 2026 total marks are 360 (120 per subject – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, across Paper 1 and Paper 2 combined). For CRL inclusion, you need at least 10% in each subject (i.e., 12 marks in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and 35% aggregate (i.e., at least 126 marks total out of 360).
| Rank List | Minimum % in Each Subject | Minimum Aggregate % |
|---|---|---|
| Common Rank List (CRL) | 10% | 35% |
| OBC-NCL Rank List | 9% | 31.5% |
| SC Rank List | 5% | 17.5% |
| ST Rank List | 5% | 17.5% |
| EWS Rank List | 9% | 31.5% |
| PwD Rank List | 5% | 17.5% |
Meeting the qualifying marks for the rank list does NOT guarantee IIT admission. Your final IIT seat depends on your AIR, the choices you fill during JoSAA counselling, and the availability of seats in your preferred branch and category.
What to Do After the JEE Advanced 2026 Result?
Following the JEE Advanced 2026 results, candidates must immediately verify their scores and secure colour printouts of their scorecard for verification. This initiates the mandatory JoSAA counselling process, requiring strategic choices from optional AAT registration to branch locking and final institutional reporting.
| Step | Action Item | Crucial Details & Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | Check Result & AIR | Login credentials required: Registration number, DOB, and registered mobile number. Note down subject-wise marks, total marks, CRL, and category rank. |
| Step 2 | Download Scorecard | Download and print 2–3 color copies. Preserve these safely for JoSAA counselling and physical document verification. |
| Step 3 | Register for AAT (Optional) | Only for B.Arch applicants at IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, and IIT (BHU) Varanasi. No separate registration fee; no negative marking in the exam. |
| Step 4 | JoSAA Counselling Registration | Mandatory for seat allotment in IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. IIT seats are allocated via JEE Advanced AIR; others via JEE Main AIR. |
| Step 5 | Fill & Lock Choices | Select preferred IIT-branch combinations. It is highly recommended to fill as many choices as possible. Monitor Mock Seat Allotment rounds to evaluate your chances. |
| Step 6 | Seat Allotment & Reporting | Download the provisional allotment letter after each round. If a seat is allocated, accept it and report to the designated IIT for document verification and fee payment before the deadline. |
