JEE Main Answer Key

The JEE Main Answer Key is a formal document published by the National Testing Agency (NTA) with the correct answers to all the questions that have been asked in the exam.

There are two types of answer keys:

  • Provisional Answer Key – Published initially, and candidates can challenge any discrepancies by paying a question-wise fee.
  • Final Answer Key – Issued after seeing the challenges; this answer key is used in the calculation of official results.

JEE Main Answer Key VS Response Sheet

The Answer Key contains the official correct responses, whereas the Response Sheet is the candidate's marked responses on the exam.

JEE Main 2025 : 6 Answered Questions

Ques. What is the expected rank (AIR) for Sastra University Thanjavur for Biotechnology?

If you are targeting B.Tech in Biotechnology at SASTRA University, Thanjavur , a JEE Main All India Rank of 9,000 to 13,000 (General category) would typically be safe based on past trends and anticipated cutoffs. Quick Details: Criteria Details Expected JEE Main Rank (Gen) 9,000 – 13,000 Eligibility 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry & Maths/Bio Admission Mode Based on JEE Main + Class 12 marks Seat Distribution 70% seats through JEE Main stream Branch Expected Rank Range CSE (Computer Science) 1,500 – 5,000 IT (Information Technology) 3,000 – 7,000 ECE (Electronics & Communication) 4,000 – 8,000 Biotechnology 9,000 – 13,000 So, if your JEE Main ranking is close to 9,000 to 13,000, you have a highly likely chance of securing a seat in Biotech in SASTRA.

Ques. I got 281441 rank in JEE Mains. Can I take admission to MNIT Jaipur

You are not eligible to enroll at MNIT Jaipur under the general All India quota in B.Tech because of your JEE Main rank of 281,441. For this reason, depending on the branch, the lowest rank in the General category (AI quota) at MNIT Jaipur in 2025 was approximately 38,000. Metallurgy and civil engineering, two even less competitive fields, close below 80,000–90,000. Your rank is far beyond this range. Here is what can you do: – Search other NITs or GFTIs: Lower cutoffs will be there in New NITs or Government Funded Technical Institutes. If you belong to SC/ST/OBC/EWS, there is hope.  – State-Level Colleges: Apply to state engineering colleges or private universities with higher cutoffs that take JEE Main scores. Examples: RTU, LNCT, VIT, etc.  – Management Quota / Direct Admission Private colleges permit students to accept admissions on the basis of their 12th-grade marks or low JEE ranks.  – Take a Gap Year If you wish to enter NITs or top colleges, take a gap to prepare for JEE Main 2026.

Ques. Is there any college I can get into if my JEE Main CRL is 112660 in the Gen category?

You can have a college of this standard, but the best NITs and core branches such as CSE or ECE might not be available in the open category. But the newer NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs with less competitive streams such as civil, metallurgy, or production provide opportunities, particularly in spot or special rounds. Attempt home state counseling with better cutoffs. State and private engineering colleges consider this rank. Complete a few options in JoSAA and remain flexible. You can get into a good college but may not get the top branch. For detail of different colleges, you can check out Collegedunia’s Page...Read More

Ques. I scored 121 in my JEE exam. I would like to know if I’m eligible for admission to IIT Madras.

No, with 121 in JEE Main, you will not be eligible for IIT Madras admission because IITs accept JEE Advanced scores and not JEE Main. If your 121 is JEE Main, check if you are among the first 2.5 lakh students who can appear for JEE Advanced. Only candidates with a good rank in JEE Advanced can get through in IIT Madras. Quick Breakdown: Criteria Details Exam Required JEE Advanced (not JEE Main) What your score means 121 in JEE Main may not qualify you for JEE Advanced cutoff Admission Process Qualify JEE Main ? Appear for JEE Advanced ? Get rank within cutoff Cutoff at IIT Madras (2024) CSE: ~AIR 171 (OPEN), Least competitive: ~AIR 6926...Read More

Ques. My EWS rank in JEE Main is 26,066. Do I have a chance of getting admission into any NIT? If yes, which ones could I possibly get?

Since EWS rank 26,066 is quite low, getting admission to top NITs or popular branches like CSE, ECE, or IT is difficult since these usually close below 10,000 EWS rank. Don't lose hope, though! You can still get options in some of the newer NITs or less popular branches, particularly during the last rounds of JoSAA counselling. Possible Options You Can Explore: NITs to Target Likely Available Branches NIT Puducherry, Mizoram, Sikkim Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgy NIT Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh Production, Bio-Tech, Instrumentation, etc. Note: These are tentative and depend on this year’s cutoff trends.  Check detailed cutoffs at NIT Cutoff – ?collegedunia What you should do is fill as many options in JoSAA (all NITs + all branches) as possible, do not leave any counselling round, and keep backup options free like IIITs, GFTIs, or state colleges based on JEE Main score...Read More
