If your percentage in boards is more than 75%, then you can try once more for JEE. As NITS and IITS don't take admissions below than percentage.

Candidates can check their All India Rank on their JEE Main 2026 session 2 scorecard.

To check the JEE Mains result, candidates have to use their application number and password.
