Rubbed my eyes, couldn't believe AIR-3, says MP's JEE star Majid
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 AIR-3 in JEE Advanced 2025 on Monday morning. Majid, a student of a residential school in Burhanpur, was asleep in his hostel room when the results were announced at 6am. 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, I couldn't believe my eyes. I rubbed them and checked again — it was true," Majid told TOI. He aspires to pursue computer science at IIT-Bombay. Chief minister Mohan Yadav congratulated Majid, posting on X: "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 smaller districts of MP are making their mark at the national level." Originally from Jalgaon, Majid took admission in Macro Vision Academy in Burhanpur in 2023 after completing Class 10. His aunt has been teaching there for 25 years. "I was confident about the teaching here. That's why I shifted," he said. Majid's parents are 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 would study from 3pm to 9pm in the hostel after school, including doubt-solving sessions with our teachers," he said. While Majid toiled with laser-sharp focus, his family kept his father's serious health condition hidden from him. Mujahid Hussain was battling paralysis and has been wheelchair-bound for 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. 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 had eyes locked on his target and scored a perfect 100 in two subjects in JEE-Advanced and after securing 99.992 percentile in JEE-Mains. His twin brother, Sajid, who is a minute elder, also cleared JEE Advanced with AIR 1625. 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."

Kota lad Rajit AIR 1, 3 more in Top 10
Jaipur: With an unmatched 42 ranks in the Top 100, Kota reaffirmed its status as the nation's popular coaching hub when the JEE-Advanced 2025 results were announced on Monday. This was the best performance since the exam adopted its current format in 2013. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The city boasts of four students in the Top 10, led by top ranked Rajit Gupta (AIR 1), a local lad who brought unprecedented glory to his hometown. The others in the Top 10 — Saksham Jindal (AIR 2, Haryana), Akshat Kumar Chaurasia (AIR 6, Uttar Pradesh), and Devesh Pankaj Bhaiya (AIR 8, Maharashtra) — all studied at Allen Career Institute and shared the same classroom for two years. "Our friendship was forged in the classroom in Kota, and we're excited to continue that at IIT-Bombay. Three of us are opting for computer science at IIT-B and we're confident our scores will secure us a place," said Rajit Gupta, who is eagerly looking forward to experiencing Mumbai's monsoon. Echoing this bond, Akshat Chaurasia added, "The healthy competition among us helped us to push boundaries. We often discussed difficult topics and supported each other's learning. That camaraderie made a big difference." While Chaurasia says he'll miss the famous 'Kota kachori', he's equally thrilled to be having 'dabeli' and 'vada pav' in Mumbai. The trio will miss Devesh Pankaj Bhaiya at IIT-Bombay, as he is heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States for his engineering studies. The celebration in Kota this year was not just about individual brilliance but also about the city reclaiming its academic dominance, especially after a relatively quiet year in 2024. Students who succeeded from Kota this year hail from across all states and Union Territories — from Kashmir to Kerala, and from Assam to Puducherry — making Kota a truly pan-India success story. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Allen Career Institute, the training ground for all four Top 10 achievers, marked a second consecutive year of producing AIR 1 through its classroom program. "We are proud that 46 of our students made it to the Top 100, including 21 in the Top 50," said Nitin Kukreja, CEO, Allen Career Institute Pvt Ltd. "This marks the sixth time a student from our institute topped JEE Advanced." Past Allen toppers include Chitrang Murdia (2014), Aman Bansal (2016), Kartikeya Gupta (2019), Mridul Agarwal (2021), and Ved Lahoti (2024). Resonance Eduventures Pvt Ltd also celebrated a solid performance. "This year, 88% of our qualified students came from our classroom programs," said R K Verma, founder and MD of Resonance. "It validates our strong academic ecosystem and consistent focus on excellence." Nitin Vijay, founder and CEO of Motion Education, revealed that out of the 6,332 students from the institute who appeared for JEE-Advanced this year, 3,180 were repeat students, and of these, 1,921 qualified, achieving an impressive qualifying of 60.40% — well above the national average for repeaters. Kota erupted in celebrations as coaching centres marked the success with drumbeats and dancing, while toppers gave interviews to the national media. Festivities lit up areas like Kunadi, Mahaveer Nagar, Keshavpura, and Talwandi, with the city hopeful of a surge in student enrolments. Kota's coaching ecosystem is once again set to energise allied sectors — hostels, transport, catering, lifestyle, real estate, and stationery. Stakeholders anticipate student numbers to touch 2 lakh this season, generating direct employment for over 1.25 lakh people and supporting nearly 3 lakh more indirectly, reinforcing the city's stature as India's leading academic and coaching destination.

Analysing Mock Tests, Taking Timely Breaks: JEE Advanced Toppers Share Strategies To Crack IIT Exam
Kota (Rajasthan): Toppers of this year's JEE-Advanced said analysing mock papers, focussing on NCERT textbooks, and taking timely breaks helped them crack the national engineering test. Results of IIT entrance exam JEE-Advanced 2025 were announced on Monday morning. In an interview with PTI, the top two rank holders shared their insights and strategies to crack what is among the toughest examinations in the country. Rajit Gupta, the all-India topper, said he began his preparation from Class 10. "There wasn't anything special in my preparation. My key goal was to complete the assigned tasks and solve modules on time, " said Gupta, who scored the highest 322 out of 360 on the test. He said he also solved selective questions from HC Verma and Irodov but mainly focused on the NCERT textbook, he said. "I didn't adhere to a specific number of hours. It entirely depended on completing an entire topic. I generally devote most of the time to studying," he added. Gupta said he would take breaks when he got stuck on solving a question. "I would speak to my younger sister which would change my mood and would then go back to studying." His father Deepak Gupta, an engineer working in BSNL, Kota, said he had "piles of books" that went way above his head and "attempted a heap of mock papers. Sakshyam Jindal from Hisar in Haryana, who stood second in the Common Rank List (CRL) said he was based in Kota for the last two years for preparation. Both Jindal and Gupta attended the Allen Career Institute for their preparations. Jindal said since he felt confident about Maths, he focussed more on Physics and Chemistry. "Regular analysis of your mock test will improve your concept. It will help you overcome panic during the examination," he said. When asked about his future goals, Jindal said, "Primarily, my goal is to join IIT Bombay." "At present, I don't have any plans regarding going abroad for better opportunities," he added.
