The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the JEE Main 2025 Session 1 results today, February 12, as per an official update. Candidates who appeared for the exam can check their scores on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in once the results are published. However, the result page is currently displaying a ‘500 Internal Server Error,’ which has led to speculation that the agency is in the process of uploading the results.

Technical glitches amid result declaration

The JEE Main 2025 Session 1 examination was conducted from January 22 to January 30, and the final answer keys have already been released. The NTA has dropped 12 questions, awarding full marks to all candidates for those questions. While no official time has been confirmed for the result announcement, past trends suggest that such technical errors often occur when the NTA is finalizing and testing the display of results on its website before an official release.
