Bhubaneswar: Adyasha Patra, an Odisha native, has topped JEE (Main) February session from Bengal with a 99.99 score.

.Adyasha’s father Chinmay Patro is General Manager of Durgapur Steel Plant and her mother, Babita Sahu, is a lecturer at Triveni Devi Bhalotia College in Raniganj.
“I studied at Carmel Convent till Class X. I shifted to CBSE because I wanted to get a competitive edge,” she told the national daily.
Adyasha had scored over 96.6 per cent in ICSE.
Her paternal grandparents, Baikuntha Nath Patro and Tulasi Patro, stay in Cuttack’s Chauliaganj and maternal grandparents Ratnakar Sahu and Bidyulata Sahu in Jagatsinghpur.
