The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the JEE Main 2025 Result for Session 2 today, April 17, on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in. This eagerly awaited announcement comes on the heels of a competitive examination that witnessed the participation of over 12.58 lakh candidates. The results will reveal not only individual scores but also the category-wise cut-offs necessary for eligibility in the prestigious JEE Advanced exam.
In the first session of JEE Main 2025, which took place earlier this year, a remarkable 14 students achieved a perfect score of 100 NTA percentile. Among these top scorers, only one was a female candidate, highlighting the ongoing gender disparity in competitive examinations. The state of Rajasthan led the tally with five toppers, followed closely by Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, which each had two. Other states contributing to the list of top scorers included Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana, and Maharashtra.
The impressive list of toppers from Rajasthan includes Ayush Singhal, Rajit Gupta, Saksham Jindal, Arnav Singh, and Om Prakash Behera. Delhi’s top scorers were Daksh and Harsh Jha, while Uttar Pradesh was represented by Shreyas Lohiya and Sourav. Other notable names include Kushagra Gupta from Karnataka, Vishad Jain from Maharashtra, Shiven Vikas Toshniwal from Gujarat, Sai Manogna Guthikonda from Andhra Pradesh, and Bani Brata Majee from Telangana.
As anticipation builds for the results, candidates are reminded to check their scores on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in, and to avoid fraudulent sites that could mislead them. The NTA has issued warnings against fake websites that mimic the official portal, advising students to only rely on the legitimate site to access their results.
Alongside the results, the NTA will announce the JEE Main 2025 cut-off scores, which are expected to vary across categories. For the Common Rank List (General category), the cut-off is likely to range between 91 and 95. Candidates from the OBC-NCL category can anticipate a cut-off between 77 and 83, while the SC category cut-off is projected to fall between 58 and 65. For the ST category, the expected cut-off lies between 44 and 50. Meanwhile, General-PwD candidates can expect a cut-off between 0.00130 and 0.00230.
Students who achieve scores above the cut-off will be eligible to sit for the JEE Advanced exam, scheduled for May 18, 2025. This exam is critical for those seeking admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), which are among the most prestigious engineering institutions in the country.
In a recent update, the NTA confirmed that one question from the physics section with ID 347577562 was dropped from the final answer key. This decision follows a thorough review process, and the NTA has stated that no further re-evaluations or re-checking requests will be entertained. Candidates are encouraged to prepare for the results based on the finalized answers provided in the official key.
Looking back at previous years, the results from JEE Main 2023 saw Telangana leading with 15 students scoring a perfect 100 percentile, followed by Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh with seven top scorers each, and Delhi with six. Rajasthan had five candidates achieving perfect scores, and overall, 43 candidates secured full marks in that exam.
For those who participated in both the January and April sessions of JEE Main 2025, the NTA will consider the better of the two scores when preparing the final merit list. This policy ensures that students have a fair chance at qualifying for the JEE Advanced exam based on their best performance.
As the clock ticks down to the result announcement, candidates are advised to keep their login credentials ready. The process to check the results is straightforward: candidates must visit the official website, click on the JEE Main 2025 result link, and submit their application number and password. Once logged in, they will be able to view and download their scorecard, which will include details of their normalized percentile scores in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, as well as their aggregate percentile.
In conclusion, the JEE Main 2025 results are not just a reflection of individual performance but also a significant milestone for students aspiring to enter the field of engineering in India. As they await their scores, candidates are encouraged to stay informed and prepared for the next steps in their academic journeys.
