JEE Main 2021 Results to be announced in a day or two. Here's how to apply for JEE Advanced if you qualify

Those who have written the fourth session of JEE Mains, and are awaiting results, are sure to be feeling extremely jittery right now. The results, which were due to be announced today, have been postponed by "a day or two," according to a statement given by the Director General of the National Testing Agency (NTA), Vineet Joshi to Hindustan Times Online. 

The NTA hadn't officially given a results day, but had said that the registration process for JEE Advanced would begin today, which was September 13, by afternoon, which had led to speculation that the results would come out by noon today. Students were left clicking endlessly on the official website of the NTA for their results, and anxiously checking for any news updates, all to no avail. Students took to microblogging site Twitter to express their annoyance.

The results of JEE Main will be declared on the official website — jeemain.nta.nic.in. The NTA will also release the final answer key, cut-off and all India ranks along with the results. As JEE Main is conducted in multiple shifts and each shift has different levels of difficulty, the NTA follows a normalisation procedure which is based on percentile scores.

Only the top 2.5 lakh candidates will qualify to even apply for JEE Advanced. The online registration process will start after the results are released. JEE Advanced is the gateway to IITs. Here's what you need to do to apply for JEE Advanced once the JEE Main results are out.
