No evidence of cheating or irregularities in JEE Advanced 2026, says IIT Roorkee
IIT Roorkee has dismissed the viral JEE Advanced 2026 rank and marks lists as fake, saying they do not match official records. After reviewing exam data, the institute said score variations between the two papers are normal and found no evidence of cheating or malpractice.
Amid widespread discussions surrounding the JEE Advanced 2026 results, IIT Roorkee has dismissed claims circulating on social media about candidates' ranks, marks and paper-wise score differences. The institute described the viral lists as inaccurate and urged students and parents to rely only on official information.
In a statement, IIT Roorkee said that the rank lists, marks data and score comparisons being shared online do not match any official JEE Advanced records. It emphasised that the information being circulated is misleading and should not be considered authentic.
The clarification follows concerns raised by candidates and parents after several posts claimed to reveal detailed rank and marks information, including differences between scores obtained in Paper 1 and Paper 2.
According to the institute, these lists are not genuine and contain incorrect data.
SCORE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PAPERS NOT UNUSUAL
Addressing discussions about large variations between Paper 1 and Paper 2 scores, the institute noted that among the top 10,000 rank holders, only two candidates recorded particularly significant gaps. It emphasised that fluctuations in performance across the two papers are common and have been observed and studied every year.
According to IIT Roorkee, such differences are a normal feature of the examination and should not be interpreted as evidence of unfair practices or irregularities.
The institute said it conducted a detailed review of examination records and related data following the concerns. The review found no signs of cheating, malpractice, unauthorised assistance, data tampering or any compromise in the conduct of the examination.
EXAMINATION PROCESS REMAINS SECURE
IIT Roorkee reiterated that the JEE Advanced 2026 examination process remains secure, transparent and fair. It advised students and parents to trust only official communications and avoid being influenced by unverified claims circulating on social media.
With rumours continuing to circulate online, IIT Roorkee has categorically stated that the viral rank and marks lists are fake and that no irregularities have been detected in the JEE Advanced 2026 examination process.
