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.

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.

‘Used iPad the whole day, but never for social media': Madhya Pradesh teen explains how he got 3rd rank in JEE Advanced 2025
Monday was a day of celebrations at Burhanpur in Madhya Pradesh, with local boy Majid Mujahid Husain, 17, securing all-India rank 3 in JEE Advanced 2025, scoring 330 marks out of 360. Majid, who wants to pursue Computer Science at IIT Bombay and specialise in artificial intelligence, was gifted a new motorcycle and a phone by his family in recognition of his achievement. On his preparations for the exam, he said, 'I started preparing seriously in class 10 with some self-study. For two years, I worked really hard and focused on consistency.' His father, Mujahid Hussain, teaches at a university in Jalagoan, and his mother, Sakina Mujahid Hussain, is a homemaker. 'It is a proud moment for every parent. If you help fulfil your child's curiosity during their studies, it gives them a strong foundation,' Sakina said. Majid initially studied at a local school in Burhanpur and later enrolled in a residential school. He also attended a private coaching institute to prepare for competitive exams. His daily routine included 12 hours of study — a strict schedule that he followed for two years. He credited his teachers, coaching institute, and disciplined study methods for his success. 'I think something new has happened with me managing to crack these exams from Burhanpur. I hope my hometown grows into a Kota (a coaching hub located in Rajasthan) and becomes the next hub of competitive exams,' he said. To prepare for the exam, Majid said he avoided distractions, using his iPad exclusively for studying and limiting his phone usage to one hour a week to talk to family members. To cope with stress, he practised meditation and took occasional breaks. 'I had the help of gadgets like the iPad, which I used the whole day, but never for social media,' he said. 'I never imagined I would get rank 3. I feel very happy.' Looking ahead, Majid said he wants to become a software engineer and work in the field of artificial intelligence. On cracking the JEE, he said, 'There is no shortcut to success. You need two years of focused preparation. If you study for 12 hours with a synchronised plan, you can crack these exams.'

JEE Advanced 2025: Jalgaon resident Maijd Husain secures AIR 3, says focus and self-confidence key to success
Majid Mujahid Husain, a resident of Jalgaon and studied at Burhanpur, secured third rank in the JEE Advanced 2025, result of which announced on Monday morning. Majid along with his twin brother Sajid prepared for the exam by taking admission in a school in Burhanpur to avoid undue pressure and hustle bustle of the big cities. He secured 97%marks in class 12. His brother Sajid has also been selected and secured 1600 rank in the exam. On his success, Majid said, 'I studied here in Burhanpur as I wanted to avoid unnecessary mental stress. A big city and coaching might have given exposure to students but it has no role in deep understanding of concept. I am glad that my teachers and family helped me in studies and supported mentally a lot.' 'I used to study 12-14 hours a day and concentrated more on understanding the concepts. After success in Mains, I spent 10-12 hours for revision. I was expecting good rank in the JEE Advanced," he said by adding that Focus and self confidence is a key for success. Husain's father Mujahid, who is a professor in Jalgaon University, said, 'I am happy that my son made us proud today. He was an intelligent boy since childhood and won many olympiads in the school.'
