Formula to Calculate JEE Main 2026 Score

Candidates can calculate their total score by applying the official marking scheme to their responses. Marks for Numerical Value Questions (NVQs) should be calculated separately, as there is no negative marking for incorrect answers in this section.

Response Type	Number of Questions	Marks Calculation
Correct Answers	50	50 × 4 = 200
Incorrect Answers	10	10 × (–1) = –10
Unanswered Questions	10	10 × 0 = 0
Total Score	—	200 – 10 = 190

By summing the marks for correct answers and subtracting the negative marks for incorrect MCQs, candidates can estimate their expected JEE Main 2026 score before the official result is announced.
