City boy ranked all India 80th in JEE (A)
Chennai: Due to the tough JEE (Advanced) question paper this year, there was just one student from Tamil Nadu featured among the top 100 JEE rankers. The topper, Divyant Jayakumar from Chettinad Vidhyashram, got an All India Rank of 80 with 285 out of 360 marks in the entrance exam for prestigious IITs. Last year, three students from the state got within the top 100 ranks, and the topper secured the 42nd rank. IIT Kanpur, which conducted the JEE (Advanced) exam, declared the results on Monday. Of the 1,80,422 candidates who appeared for the exam, 54,378 qualified, and of them, 9,404 were girls. Tamil Nadu topper Divyant Jayakumar is planning to join computer science engineering at IIT Bombay or IIT Madras. "I was expecting a score above 280 marks. I am happy to get within the top 100 ranks. JEE (Advanced) paper two was one of the toughest papers in recent years," he said. He started the JEE preparation from Class IX onwards. He said starting the preparations very early helped him. Besides academics, he likes to listen to music and play football. Other students, Shreyas Ramakrishnan and Muhammed Safwan R, got the AIR 154 and 314 ranks, respectively. Another student, R P Sudharshnan, got the 322nd rank. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo "There was no score above 300 from Tamil Nadu in the JEE (Advanced) exam this year. The dip in performance is due to the lengthy question paper," said B Pavan Kumar, an expert trainer for the JEE exam. The number of students securing top 100 ranks also came down from three last year to one this year. However, Santosh Singh, academic head of Allen Career Institute in Chennai, said many students from Tamil Nadu got within the top 1000 ranks this year. "Unlike NEET, the poor performance in the JEE (Advanced) exam will not affect the chance of getting admissions to IITs. Even low scores got higher ranks this year due to the tougher exam for all students," he added. All India topper Rajit Gupta got 332 out of 360 marks.

Burhanpur boy Majid secures AIR 3 in JEE Advanced, breaks myths around big city coaching
Indore: Breaking long-held notions that success in competitive exams requires expensive coaching in metro cities, 17-year-old Majid Mujahid Hussain from Burhanpur achieved an extraordinary feat by securing All India Rank (AIR) 3 in the JEE Advanced 2025. The results were declared early Monday morning. Majid, a student at Macro Vision Academy, residential school in Burhanpur, was asleep in his hostel room when the results were announced at 6 am. His aunt, Navid Ali, who teaches at the same school, was with him when he received a call from his parents in Jalgaon, urging him to check his result. "When I saw AIR 3 on the screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. I rubbed them and checked again—it was true," Majid told TOI. Additionally, chief minister Mohan Yadav took to X on Monday to congratulate Majid for securing All India Rank 3 in the JEE Advanced 2025 examination. He wrote, "Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to Shri Majid Hussain ji from Burhanpur for bringing glory to Madhya Pradesh by achieving AIR-3 in JEE Advanced 2025. It is a matter of immense joy and pride that young talents from even the smaller districts of Madhya Pradesh are making their mark at the national level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Egypt: New Small Electric Car For Seniors. Prices Might Surprise You. Electric Cars | Search Ads Undo " Originally from Jalgaon, Majid moved to Burhanpur in 2023 after completing Class 10. He chose the school based on the strong reputation of its faculty—his aunt has been teaching there for the past 25 years. "I was confident about the teaching here. That's why I shifted," he said. Majid is the son of academicians—his father, Mujahid Hussain, is a civil engineering professor, and his mother, Sakina Hussain, is an MBA professor at a private college in Jalgaon. The values of discipline and dedication were instilled in him early on, and despite limited weekly phone calls from the hostel, his parents continued to be his emotional pillars throughout the demanding preparation period. "I used to study from 3 pm to 9 pm in the hostel after school, including doubt-solving sessions with our teachers," he said. Majid's family kept his father's serious health condition hidden from him during the preparation period. Mujahid Hussain was battling paralysis and was wheelchair-bound for the past six months. "I only discovered the extent of his illness after the exam. It was heartbreaking, but later I understood their decision—it was to keep me focused," Majid said, emotionally. His father, he added, laid the foundation of his understanding in Mathematics and Physics. Staying away from mobile phones and social media for two years, Majid maintained a laser-sharp focus on his goal. Majid scored a perfect 100 in two subjects in JEE Advanced and earlier secured a 99.992 percentile in JEE Mains. His twin brother, Sajid, who is a minute elder, also cleared JEE Advanced with an AIR 1625. Looking ahead, Majid aspires to pursue Computer Science at IIT Bombay and dreams of becoming a successful software engineer. Praising the young achiever, his school principal J.S. Parmar said, "Majid's determination sets him apart. He has made his family, his school, and all of us immensely proud." Following his success, he was weighed in laddoos and received several gifts from local leaders and school.

With AIR 471 in JEE (Advanced), Bihar boy comes 2nd in IIT-Guwahati zone
Patna: With an All India Rank (AIR) of 471 in Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced)-2025, city resident Gyan Prakash on Monday became the second topper in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Guwahati zone, under which Bihar falls. A total of 2,743 candidates cleared the exam — the result of which was announced by IIT-Kanpur — in the Guwahati zone, encompassing the northeastern region, some regions of West Bengal and Bihar. Close on heels is Arjun Verma, who hails from Nalanda district. He has come fourth in the IIT-Guwahati zone with an AIR 529 in his very first attempt only. Arjun, who devoted eight-10 hours to studies over the last two years, said he took the help of a coaching institute, reference books and solved sample papers regularly to understand the concepts. "Preparing for both Class XII board exams and the engineering entrance test was quite challenging, but my hard work has paid off. Chemistry was initially difficult for me. I didn't feel like studying it. But over time, with the help of my teachers — Saurabh sir, Ranjan sir and Batulda Sir — I started liking the subject. Chemistry requires more memorisation and effort compared to maths and physics. It takes time and isn't very conceptual," he said, adding he wants to study computer science and engineering. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chegou o Alarme que afasta rapidamente os Ladrões Verisure Ver oferta Undo Born to Manish Kumar Verma, a political activist, and Rashmi, Arjun said his preferred institute is IIT-Bombay, but it all depends on the ranking. "My second and third choices are IIT-Kharagpur and Guwahati respectively," said Arjun, who completed his Class XII this year with 90% score, and Class X from Delhi Public School, Danapur Cantt, in 2023, with 93% marks. Arjun's mother was full of joy: "It feels great. Maintaining a study timetable for two years is not easy, especially alongside plus two. He sat for JEE (Main) exam in January, when he got 99.94 percentile," she said. Among the Bihar natives, however, Arnav Kumar — who hails from Samastipur district but lives with his parents in Rajasthan, secured an AIR 25 from Delhi zone. Born to IITian Ajit and Neha Singh, he did his schooling at DPS-Kota and DPS-Bhopal, and prepared for engineering in Kota. By securing 100 percentile in JEE (Mains) in his first attempt, he was among the 14 students from across the country who had ranked 1. A wave of joy has swept the Samastipur, soon after the news reached his native Raja Jan village in Mohiuddinagar block, which burst in celebrations. On the other hand, Pratik Chauhan, son of Santosh Kumar Singh and welfare officer Ranjita Singh, also brought laurels to Samastipur district by securing 764 rank in JEE (Advanced). Sushant (AIR 819), Shivam (AIR 985) and Ojus Mishra (AIR 1,379) are among other top scorers from state. Carmel High School ISC topper Aashi Ashmita got 1,502 rank. "I am happy with my result. I scored 99.98 percentile in JEE (Main). My dream college is IIT-Bombay, and I would opt for computer science. I want to study AI and data science. My ultimate goal is to become a civil servant," she said.
