Quick Summary
IIT Roorkee declared the JEE Advanced 2026 result on 1 June 2026. Shubham Kumar (IIT Delhi zone) topped with 330/360 marks. 56,880 candidates qualified out of 1,79,694 who appeared. Check scorecard, category-wise cut-off, and next steps for JoSAA counselling and AAT 2026.
The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) is the organising institute for Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2026. Established in 1847, IIT Roorkee is one of India's oldest technical institutions and a member of the IIT council. The responsibility for conducting JEE Advanced rotates among the IITs each year — IIT Roorkee held the organising mandate for the 2026 cycle. The official JEE Advanced portal is jeeadv.ac.in.
56,880 candidates are now in the IIT admission funnel — the most consequential number in today's result is not any individual's score, but the 18,160 undergraduate seats available across all 23 IITs. That is a seat-to-qualifier ratio of roughly 1 in 3. But that ratio is deeply unequal by rank: the top ~5,000 ranks have genuine access to the IIT branches they want; ranks 5,001 to 18,160 face real constraints on branch and institute choice; and ranks beyond 18,160 will not receive an IIT seat regardless of JoSAA rounds. Knowing where you stand in that hierarchy — not just whether you "qualified" — is the only number that matters today. And with JoSAA counselling opening tomorrow, 2 June 2026, and AAT registration closing the same day, the post-result window for action is narrower than most candidates expect.
JEE Advanced 2026 Result – Overview
IIT Roorkee declared the official JEE Advanced 2026 result on 1 June 2026 at 10:00 AM IST. The result, scorecard, and category-wise rank lists are available at jeeadv.ac.in (result portal: cdata.jeeadv.ac.in/result2026/). Login requires Roll Number + Date of Birth + Registered Mobile Number. Out of 1,87,389 registered candidates, 1,79,694 appeared in both Paper 1 and Paper 2, and 56,880 candidates have qualified — including 10,107 female candidates. The overall qualification rate is approximately 31.7% of those who appeared. The JEE Advanced 2026 CRL (Common Rank List) qualifying cut-off is 92 marks out of 360 (25.56% aggregate), with subject-wise minimum marks also required alongside the aggregate. Shubham Kumar of the IIT Delhi zone topped JEE Advanced 2026 with 330 marks out of 360 (AIR 1). Female AIR 1 is Arohi Deshpande (AIR 77).
In JEE Advanced 2025 (conducted by IIT Kanpur), 1,86,584 candidates appeared and 48,248 qualified. The 2026 cycle shows a notable increase in qualifiers — 56,880 versus 48,248 in 2025 — an 18% jump, reflecting both higher overall performance and a lower qualifying cut-off this year. The 2026 AIR 1 score of 330/360 is also notably high, suggesting a relatively accessible paper difficulty compared to some previous years.

JEE Advanced 2026 Cut-off – Category-wise Qualifying Marks
The JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cut-off has been officially released by IIT Roorkee alongside the result. Candidates must meet both the aggregate minimum marks and the per-subject minimum marks to qualify and receive an AIR. Meeting only the aggregate without the per-subject minimum does not qualify a candidate. The cut-off is upward from 2025 (2025 CRL cut-off was 74 marks; 2026 is 92 marks), reflecting a relatively more accessible paper difficulty this year compared to 2025.
| Rank List Category | Minimum Aggregate Marks (out of 360) | % of Total Marks | Minimum Marks per Subject |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Rank List (CRL — General/UR) | 92 | 25.56% | As per official cut-off at jeeadv.ac.in |
| GEN-EWS Rank List | 82 | 22.78% | As per official cut-off at jeeadv.ac.in |
| OBC-NCL Rank List | 82 | 22.78% | As per official cut-off at jeeadv.ac.in |
| SC Rank List | 46 | 12.78% | As per official cut-off at jeeadv.ac.in |
| ST Rank List | 46 | 12.78% | As per official cut-off at jeeadv.ac.in |
| PwD Rank List | 46 | 12.78% | As per official cut-off at jeeadv.ac.in |
Official qualifying cut-off as published by IIT Roorkee at jeeadv.ac.in on 1 June 2026 with the result. The per-subject minimum marks apply alongside the aggregate cut-off — candidates must exceed both thresholds in every subject to be included in the rank list. Refer to the official cut-off PDF at jeeadv.ac.in for exact per-subject figures.
JEE Advanced 2026 – What Qualified Candidates Must Do Next
Qualifying JEE Advanced 2026 opens two time-sensitive pathways that both activate in the next 24–48 hours: JoSAA 2026 counselling registration (for IIT seats) and AAT 2026 registration (for B.Arch seats at IITs). Neither window waits. Missing the AAT registration deadline on 2 June 2026 permanently closes the B.Arch route at IITs for this cycle.
JoSAA 2026 Counselling – Joint Seat Allocation for IITs, NITs, IIITs, GFTIs
JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) conducts the seat allocation process for all 121 participating institutes — 23 IITs (JEE Advanced rank required), 31 NITs, 1 IIEST Shibpur, 26 IIITs, and 40 GFTIs (JEE Main rank used). The process runs in 6 allotment rounds with choice filling, mock allocations, fee payment, and document upload at each stage.
| JoSAA 2026 Step | When | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Registration & Choice Filling Opens | 2 June 2026 | Register at josaa.nic.in with JEE Advanced roll number. Fill and lock preferences — institute and branch — in priority order. IIT seats are allocated by JEE Advanced CRL / category rank; NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats by JEE Main rank. |
| Mock Seat Allocation Rounds 1 & 2 | June 2026 (dates at josaa.nic.in) | Preview likely allotment without any fee commitment — use this to finalise and reorder your choices before the lock date. |
| Choice Locking Deadline | June 2026 (exact date at josaa.nic.in) | After this deadline, choices cannot be changed. Locked choices are final for all 6 rounds of seat allocation. |
| Seat Allotment Rounds 1–6 | June – July 2026 | Each round shows your provisional allotment. Options at each round: Accept (freeze — stop participating after this round) | Float (accept provisionally, participate in next rounds for better seat) | Slide (accept same institute, try better branch in next rounds) | Reject (forfeit seat, exit counselling). Fee payment required to hold allotment after each round. |
AAT 2026 – Architecture Aptitude Test (for B.Arch at IITs)
Candidates interested in B.Arch programmes at IITs (IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur offer B.Arch) must additionally clear the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT 2026). AAT is separate from the JEE Advanced paper and tests freehand drawing, architectural awareness, and spatial reasoning. There is no separate cut-off for AAT — it is a qualifying test that the candidate must pass. AAT registration is open now and closes on 2 June 2026 — there is no extension.
| AAT 2026 Step | Date | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| AAT Registration Opens | 1 June 2026 (from result time) | Register at cportal.jeeadv.ac.in — only JEE Advanced 2026 qualified candidates can register |
| AAT Registration Closes | 2 June 2026 | Hard deadline — no extension. If you intend to pursue B.Arch at IITs, register before end of day on 2 June 2026 |
| AAT Examination | 4 June 2026 | Offline exam at designated IIT exam centres; tests freehand drawing, three-dimensional perception, architectural awareness, and imaginative composition. Duration: 3 hours |
| AAT Result | To be notified — check jeeadv.ac.in | AAT result declares "qualified" or "not qualified" — no marks or ranks. Qualified AAT candidates can fill B.Arch choices in JoSAA 2026 |
