For JEE Main 2026, calculators will not be allowed in the exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has confirmed that no physical or virtual calculator will be provided. Earlier, there was confusion because of a typing mistake in the information bulletin, but NTA has now clearly said that students have to do all the calculations manually during the exam.
The calculator ban in JEE Main 2026 will test aspirants’ mental arithmetic and manual calculation skills, making speed and accuracy entirely dependent on practice. Regular solving of numerical problems without a calculator will be key to maintaining efficiency during the exam.
