Kota boy Rajit Gupta tops JEE-A in tie-breaker: What are metrics he aced to secure AIR 1?
Majid Mujahid Husain and Parth Mandar Vartak secured AIR-3 and AIR-4, respectively.
Gupta and Jindal, who are students of the Allen Career Institute located in Kota, are from the IIT-Delhi zone.
While the scores of both students matched when the results were made public, Gupta had the upper hand, having performed better on the tie-breaking metrics - which are based on higher positive marks.
On the policy for a tie-breaker in the case of two students scoring the same aggregate scores, the JEE website clarifies that 'candidates having higher positive marks will be awarded higher rank." However, if this measure fails to break the tie, a 'higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Mathematics.' It further adds, 'If this does not break the tie, higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Physics. If there is a tie even after this, candidates will be assigned the same rank.'
However, in this case, Rajit Gupta was able to beat the tie-breaker based on higher positive marks. His father, Deepak Gupta is a sub-divisional engineer with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and mother Shruti Agrawal teaches home science at a Kota college.
Apart from Gupta and Jindal, two other students from the coaching centre in Kota - Akshat Chourasia (AIR-6) and Devesh P Bhaiya (AIR-8) - secured ranks in the top 10. Allen Career Institute celebrated the success of four of its students at its Sammunat Campus in Jawahar Nagar, news agency PTI reported.
Allen Career CEO Nitin Kukreja in a press statement highlighted that this was the second consecutive time that the institute had produced an All India Topper.
During celebrations at the institute, the toppers and their families were initially greeted by the directors of the institute, followed by an interaction with the media. 'My seniors and teachers played a huge role in inspiring me to do well in the exam,' Gupta told HT, while adding that he was confident about JEE advanced after having score 100 percentile (AIR16) in Mains.
In the interaction, the four students from Allen praised Kota, for the favourable environment it provides to those preparing for JEE exams, according to the PTI report. Meanwhile, their parents highlighted the preparations the students undertook in the days leading up to the exams.

Petition in NGT to ensure five rivers are pollution-free
Bathinda: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Monday registered a petition praying for the rejuvenation of five key rivers of the region, to ensure they are pollution-free. The prayer concerns the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej, passing through Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, which are the lifelines of these states. Noida-based environmentalist Abhisht Kusum Gupta, who represents an NGO ' has made the Union Jal Shakti Ministry, the states of Punjab, HP, J&K through chief secretaries, the Central Pollution Control Board, the Punjab Pollution Control Board, and the Pollution Control Boards of HP and J&K, as well as deputy commissioners from 25 districts, including 10 DCs from Punjab such as Ferozepur, respondents. The rivers pass through these districts, and district administrations have failed to stop sludge and solid waste from being thrown into these rivers. The rivers have a deep connection with (undivided) Punjab, from which the state derived its name as Punj Aab (land of five rivers, as Aab is a water body in local parlance). Before partition, Punjab had five rivers, but now there is a lot of hue and cry over pollution in the Sutlej. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Read More Undo The petitioner has demanded that the respondents ensure the installation and proper functioning of Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) and Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) in the districts adjoining the five sister rivers. Gupta said, "There is ongoing and systematic destruction of the five principal rivers of Punjab—Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—which collectively constitute the lifeline of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The rivers' floodplains not only support agriculture, biodiversity, and groundwater recharge but also hold immense cultural, historical, and religious significance. In recent years, this delicate riverine ecosystem has faced severe degradation due to unregulated industrial discharge, large-scale sand mining, encroachment, and unsustainable development along riverbanks. The unchecked exploitation of the floodplain areas violates the principles of the 'Public Trust Doctrine,' which holds that natural resources such as rivers are held by the state in trust for the benefit of the people." He said that the condition of the Five Sister Rivers has reached a point where the residents of the villages surrounding the rivers are actively suffering from life-threatening conditions that are wholly attributable to the water flowing in the rivers. Additionally, the agricultural produce irrigated with the water from the Five Sister Rivers is being consumed by people across India, as both states are considered the food basket of India. Going by this, he has approached the NGT, and the matter is expected to be taken up later this week.

Esha Gupta Serves Effortless Glamour In Ice-Blue Draped Perfection
Esha Gupta stuns in an ice-blue draped gown that blends old-Hollywood charm with modern minimalism. Esha Gupta has always had a knack for owning the red carpet, but her latest appearance proves she's mastered the art of turning minimalism into a moment. Draped in an ethereal ice-blue gown, Gupta radiated a brand of understated sensuality that is fast becoming her signature. The off-shoulder silhouette showcased clean, fluid lines that hugged her frame without overwhelming it, letting the craftsmanship and the cut take center stage. The soft ruched detailing across the bodice added texture and depth, while the gown's draped sleeves hinted at old-Hollywood elegance. The icy hue, a delicate balance between powder blue and pastel aqua not only flattered her sun-kissed complexion but also stood out in a sea of predictable black and metallics. Hair and makeup played a crucial role in elevating the look. Gupta opted for a softly curled, side-parted bob, a refreshing break from the long, beachy waves that dominate celebrity styling. The short, polished hair lent her a timeless, almost vintage allure while keeping the overall vibe contemporary. A dewy, luminous base paired with subtly bronzed contours created a natural glow, while her nude-peach lips and softly defined eyes struck the perfect harmony between effortlessness and red-carpet readiness. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Esha Gupta (@egupta) But the true scene-stealer? Her award, which she held with the same poise she brought to the gown. Rather than overshadowing her look, the trophy felt like an organic extension of the evening's narrative celebration, success, and style in equal measure. Gupta's sartorial choices often blur the lines between high glamour and accessibility. This gown, for instance, was undeniably luxe, yet it carried a simplicity that made it infinitely adaptable, an ideal blueprint for modern eveningwear. The lesson here is clear: when the fit is flawless and the styling intentional, you don't need layers of embellishment to make an impact. She also embodies the shift in celebrity fashion where personality and presence hold as much weight as the clothes themselves. Gupta's choice to keep accessories minimal letting her gown, glowing skin, and confident energy speak aligns with a growing movement toward less-is-more styling. In a world saturated with fast-changing trends, this kind of restraint reads as quietly powerful. From the delicate folds of her gown to the effortless sweep of her hair, Esha Gupta's latest look was a study in balance between soft and structured, classic and current, simplicity and statement. It's the kind of fashion moment that lingers not because it shouted for attention, but because it whispered luxury in a language only the truly stylish can speak.

Residents raise alarm over dust and danger as PVVNL leaves roads dug up for months
Noida: Incomplete repair work by Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) has raised concerns among residents across Noida, with many complaining of rising pollution levels and daily commuter hazards. The issue stems from repeated road diggings undertaken by the power department for underground cable laying and fault repairs, which are allegedly left unpatched for months at a stretch. Residents of Sectors 58, 59, 60, and several others say the problem is no longer limited to inconvenience, it has become a health and safety hazard. Monsoon rains have worsened the condition of the dug-up roads, many of which now lie waterlogged or crumbling. "For over a year now, PVVNL has been digging up roads in the name of repairs or underground cabling, and once the work is done, no one returns to fix the roads," said Amit Gupta, a resident of Sector 77, who has taken the matter to the Gautam Buddh Nagar district magistrate. Gupta submitted GPS-tagged photographs highlighting the condition of key stretches in his formal complaint.

The area was made dust-free with great effort, and now it's back to square one," Gupta added. Sunil Kumar from Sector 76 echoed the concerns. "The dust pollution becomes unbearable during summers and winters. It's not just about discomfort; it's affecting our health." While acknowledging the need for infrastructure upgrades, Gupta questioned the outdated methods being used for implementation. "In Srinagar, I saw an efficient model, three conduits laid under footpaths with access chambers at regular intervals. If a repair is needed, they simply open the chamber. No road cutting is required. Why can't Noida adopt such a system?" Currently, road repair work is typically scheduled before and after the monsoon, but residents argue that the lack of coordination between utility departments and the Noida Authority leads to prolonged delays and worsened road conditions. An official response from the Authority remains pending. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
