The Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, has rejected all claims circulating on the internet and on social media regarding alleged irregularities in the JEE Advanced 2026 results. The Institute described the information showing candidate ranks, total marks, and inter-paper differentials for IIT JEE results as inaccurate and fabricated.
The Institute has shared an official statement on its X handle, clarifying that lists purportedly showing candidate ranks, total marks, and differences between scores obtained in Paper 1 and Paper 2 do not correspond to any officially released records.
Addressing these claims, the authorities stated that a substantial difference in marks between the two papers was observed in only two candidates among the top 10,000 rank holders. They emphasised that variations in performance between Paper 1 and Paper 2 are a well-documented phenomenon and have been regularly tracked and analysed by the conducting authority over the years.
The clarifications follow concerns raised by some candidates and parents about data circulating online that appeared to suggest unusual score patterns among top-ranked candidates.

IIT Roorkee further said that a comprehensive verification of all examination records and related data had been conducted. According to the authorities, the review found no evidence of cheating, malpractice, unauthorised assistance, data manipulation, or any compromise in the examination process at any stage of JEE (Advanced) 2026.
However, some aspirants demanded the release of the correct papers, including the 1 and 2 marks for all candidates. They also asked the organising institute to check rankers up to 50000, not just 10000.
IIT JEE results were announced on June 1, 2026. This year, a total of 179694 candidates appeared in both papers 1 and 2 in JEE (Advanced) 2026. In this exam, 56880 candidates have qualified. Of the total qualified candidates, 10107 are female.
