Overview
- IIT Roorkee released the JEE Advanced 2026 result late on May 31 and made final answer keys and scorecards available on the official portal from June 1.
- Shubham Kumar of the IIT Delhi zone secured All India Rank 1 with 330 out of 360 marks while Kabeer Chhillar and Jatin Chahar from the same zone took second and third.
- A total of 56,880 candidates qualified from 179,694 who sat both papers, including 10,107 women, the highest number of female qualifiers reported.
- Qualified candidates have been asked to register for JoSAA 2026 counselling but final admission will depend on meeting percentage-related rules or top-20-percentile criteria in Class XII as set in the information brochure.
- Competition remains intense because about 56,880 qualifiers will vie for roughly 18,951 BTech seats across 23 IITs, meaning many successful candidates will not secure an IIT place during counselling.
