New Delhi: Fifty-six candidates scored 100 percentile (100 NTA score) in the Joint Entrance Examination – Main (JEE-Main) 2024, creating a record. Among them are two women, Sanvi Jain (Karnataka) and Shayna Sinha (Delhi). The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the combined results of Paper 1 (BE/ BTech) of the January and April sessions on Wednesday night. Another highlight of the results has been the five-year high qualifying percentile at JEE (Main) to be eligible for JEE (Advanced), the entrance test for admission to the sought-after 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Among the states, Telangana with 15 candidates in the top scorer list continues to lead for the third consecutive year.
The second position has gone to Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Both have seven candidates with 100 percentile each, followed by Delhi with six aspirants. Of the 14.1 lakh candidates, almost 96% of the aspirants took the test for undergraduate admissions for engineering and architecture programmes in centrally funded technical institutions and for eligibility to JEE (Advanced) for admissions to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT).
While in the JEE (Main) January session 23 candidates scored 100 percentiles, 33 scored 100 percentile in the April session. The 56 toppers include 40 from the general category, 10 from the OBC category, and six from gen-EWS. However, there are no candidates from the Sc and ST categories to manage a 100 percentile score this year.
