Mohit Agrawal scored 315 marks and is AIR 12, followed by Mann Patel at AIR 43, Rishabh Iyer at AIR 48, and Shiven Toshniwal at AIR 58. Out of the total, only Shiven was among the Top 10 in IIT-JEE Mains. Ellis Patel at AIR 155 is believed to be the state topper among girls. Mohit had secured AIR 90 in JEE Mains. "I was hoping for even better marks, but I made a few mistakes which cost me. I want to pursue either computer science at IIT Bombay or a mathematics course at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru," said Mohit, son of a chartered accountant father and homemaker mother. A regular at Olympiads, Mohit wishes to pursue a career in research. "Maths has always been my favourite subject that motivated me to take up engineering," he added. Mann Patel scored 299 marks to get AIR 43. He secured AIR 274 in JEE Mains. A student of Utkarsh High School in Bopal, Mann is the son of a scientist at the Institute of Plasma Research (IPR). His father, Hitesh Patel, told TOI that for the past three years, Mann prepared for the exam without any break. "He would not even attend family functions. The hard work paid off. He hopes to get admission in the computer science course at IIT-B," he said. From AIR 165 in JEE Mains, Rishabh Iyer improved to AIR 48 in the Advanced exam. A student of Divya Jyot School, Rishabh was preparing for the exam for the past three years. "My parents are doctors – a paediatrician and a physician – but I always gravitated towards mathematics, which motivated me to take up engineering. My parents have also supported my decision wholeheartedly," said Rishabh, adding that he is hopeful of getting computer science at IIT-B. Shiven Toshniwal at AIR 58 is sure of getting computer science at IIT-B. "The counselling will start soon, and it is a dream come true as I will be pursuing the course with some of my friends from the city," said Toshniwal, who was AIR 9 in JEE Mains. "I shifted base from Anjar in Kutch to Ahmedabad when I was in Class 9. My parents are a paediatrician and an orthopaedic surgeon, but they always helped me pursue my dream to get into IIT. "

5 students from T, AP make it to JEE top 20 club
Hyderabad: Five students from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh secured a spot in the top-20 rankers list in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2025, the results of which were released on Monday. The IIT-Hyderabad zone, comprising the two Telugu states apart from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, saw 23 candidates figure in the top 100 rank holders bracket. A total of 12,946 students from this zone qualified in the examination. Hyderabad boy Arnav Singh secured an All-India Rank (AIR) 9, while Vadlamudi Lokesh from AP clinched AIR 10. The other three students in the top 20 were: Dharmana Gnana Rutvik Sai (AIR 18), Vangala Ajay Reddy (AIR 19), and Avanaganti Anirudh Reddy (AIR 20). All toppers said they want to pursue B Tech programme in computer sciences from the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B). "I have been interested in engineering since I was 12. I always wanted to study computer science, and I am very happy that I can now fulfil my dream," an elated Lokesh told TOI. The teenager, son of an NGO employee from Vijayawada, said he started preparing for the exam from Class 7 and had been staying away from his family — at a residential coaching centre in Hyderabad — for the last six years. The two states also threw up several category toppers. While Ajay emerged as all-India topper in the General-Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category, Rutvik stood at the top of the charts in the OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) category. Korikana Rasagnya, who secured AIR 78 was the female topper from the state. "I regret making some silly mistakes in the exam. Else, I would have definitely secured a spot in the top 5. However, I am happy that I am the topper in the General-EWS category," said Ajay, a resident of Kurnool, who has been living in Hyderabad since Class 9. Many students who secured ranks from the other zones are also students of the two corporate colleges – Narayana Group and Sri Chaitanya Group — that have their main campuses in the Telugu states. Meanwhile, students from social and tribal welfare and Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) in Telangana also performed well, especially in the SC and ST categories. While G Soniya from EMRS secured AIR 63 in the ST category, N Shiva from the tribal welfare society clinched the AIR 95 position in the same category.
