'Correcting mistakes strengthens your foundation,' says JEE Advanced 2025 AIR 1 Rajit Gupta
JAIPUR: Rajit Gupta, a resident of Mahaveer Nagar in Kota, created history by securing All India Rank 1 in JEE Advanced 2025. He became the first local student from the coaching hub to achieve the top spot in the prestigious engineering entrance exam.
The result was announced on Monday.
Gupta, who earlier secured AIR 16 in JEE Main (April session) and achieved a 100 percentile score in the January session, credits his success to one principle: fixing mistakes. 'After getting 16th rank in JEE Main, I knew the road to the top wasn't going to be easy. I went back to the basics and focused only on not repeating my mistakes. Correcting errors is what truly strengthens your foundation in any subject,' Gupta said.
Gupta comes from an academically strong family. His father, Deepak Gupta, is a Sub-Divisional Engineer at BSNL in Kota, and his mother, Shruti Agrawal, is a Professor of Home Science at JDB College in Kota. Education, discipline, and balance have always been part of the household ethos.
In a striking generational coincidence, Gupta revealed that his father secured 48th rank in the Rajasthan Pre-Engineering Test in 1994, just missing the top rank by some marks.

'His achievement always inspired me. He performed under far tougher conditions. I had the privilege of resources and a support system—his journey motivated me to go even further,' said Gupta.
He prepared at Allen Career Institute, Kota. He also highlighted how being from Kota—the epicentre of India's coaching industry—played a pivotal role. 'Seeing thousands of students come here from across the country, staying away from families and comfort, pushed me to never take my situation for granted. My mum often reminded me that staying at home, eating home-cooked food, and having my parents around gave me an advantage many didn't have,' he added.

Only 3 of 6 firms participate in plastic deposit scheme tender
Panaji: Only 50% of the total companies that showed interest in becoming the 'system operator' to implement govt's Deposit Refund Scheme (DRS) for non-biodegradable materials, ultimately participated in the tender. Six companies showed interest at the pre-bid meeting, but only three submitted their tender to become a system operator. Keen on becoming the first state in the country to implement DRS, state govt has decided to appoint a system operator to implement the scheme. Under DRS, a non-biodegradable product is purchased in the state, the consumer must pay an additional fee for that product that will be refunded when the product's packaging is returned at a collection point. This initiative aims to protect the environment, reduce the load on oceans and forest ecosystems, and result in cleaner beaches. The system operator will be responsible for setting up an efficient, consumer-friendly, and easy-to-access network of collection points. Govt had floated an expression of interest to appoint a system operator to implement the DRS. The system operator will work on developing and implementing the DRS for an initial period of 10 years, which can be extended for an additional five years with mutual agreement, subject to successful implementation and objective fulfilment of the DRS. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo A 'DRS product' refers to non-biodegradable material specified in the Schedule of the Goa Non-Biodegradable Garbage (Control) Act. DRS products include multi-layered plastics used for packing commodities intended for sale in Goa. Over 300 automated collection machines will be set up across the state for the collection of non-biodegradable material based on consumer and tourist footfall. A senior govt official said the system operator for the implementation of the DRS must establish at least these many automated collection machines across collection points. 'At least one automated collection machine must be set up in each panchayat area and class C urban local bodies (ULBs), and at least five in each class A and class B municipal area. Further, within one year from the commencement date, the system operator shall ensure that the number of automated machines is increased to at least 400, and within two years of the commencement date, to at least 500,' the official said.
