21 marks are not enough for getting into NIT, IIT and like institutions. You need to score at least 140-150 in your category.

You are eligible if you have scored more than 75% in board exam of 12th. But based on above score it is not possible, but you can take drop improve your result and then get admission in IITs and NITs.

Hi, As I know 21 marks make your rank very high which is not sufficient for admission in NIT or IIT. So, try to get a better rank in next JEE Main so that you can achieve what you want.

Not entirely, the core topics remain the same. VITEEE has 10 aptitude questions, and English has 5 questions. The physics, chemistry and maths questions are mostly formula-based and less tricky than JEE Main.

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.

No. The JEE Main 2026 session 2 admit card has not yet been released.
