The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially announced that the final answer key for JEE Main 2025 Session 2 will be released by 2 PM on April 18, 2025. This final answer key is an important document that helps students check the correct answers to the questions they attempted in the exam. It will be made available on the official JEE website: jeemain.nta.nic.in. Candidates can download it once it is uploaded.
On April 17, NTA had briefly uploaded the final answer key on its website but took it down after a few hours. The reason for this removal was not explained. This caused confusion among students, especially as the result was originally expected by April 17, as per the information bulletin.
Now, with a clear update from NTA, students can expect the result of JEE Main 2025 Session 2 to be declared by April 19. NTA has confirmed that both the answer key and result are being handled seriously and transparently.
According to the latest update, the JEE Main 2025 result for Session 2 will be declared by April 19, 2025. The result will be published on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in. Students will need to log in using their application number and date of birth to check their scorecards. It is also advised to keep checking the NTA’s main site nta.ac.in for additional updates and announcements.
The result will include scores for the BE/BTech paper first. The result for BArch and BPlanning papers will be announced later, only after the release of the provisional answer key and once the objection window closes.
The NTA has stated that it follows a transparent process for exams and has asked candidates not to trust or be misled by any unofficial news about answer key errors. In response to concerns raised by students about mistakes in the answer key, NTA explained that it considers every objection carefully and works to ensure accuracy in the final release.
Students should note that the scorecard will display detailed marks, and the list of toppers will also be released along with the result. This will include 100 percentile scorers, and the names of toppers state-wise, category-wise, and gender-wise.
