NewDelhi: JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Result: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has withheld the results of 113 candidates in the latest JEE Main 2026 Session 2 outcome due to suspected use of unfair means and discrepancies in candidate records.
While the majority of candidates can access their JEE Main scorecard 2026 on the official website, these results remain on hold pending further investigation and verification.
57 candidates under scanner for unfair means

Use of electronic devices such as mobile phones
