'Correcting mistakes strengthens your foundation,' says JEE Advanced 2025 AIR 1 Rajit Gupta
JAIPUR: Rajit Gupta, a resident of Mahaveer Nagar in Kota, created history by securing All India Rank 1 in JEE Advanced 2025. He became the first local student from the coaching hub to achieve the top spot in the prestigious engineering entrance exam.
The result was announced on Monday.
Gupta, who earlier secured AIR 16 in JEE Main (April session) and achieved a 100 percentile score in the January session, credits his success to one principle: fixing mistakes. 'After getting 16th rank in JEE Main, I knew the road to the top wasn't going to be easy. I went back to the basics and focused only on not repeating my mistakes. Correcting errors is what truly strengthens your foundation in any subject,' Gupta said.
Gupta comes from an academically strong family. His father, Deepak Gupta, is a Sub-Divisional Engineer at BSNL in Kota, and his mother, Shruti Agrawal, is a Professor of Home Science at JDB College in Kota. Education, discipline, and balance have always been part of the household ethos.
In a striking generational coincidence, Gupta revealed that his father secured 48th rank in the Rajasthan Pre-Engineering Test in 1994, just missing the top rank by some marks.

'His achievement always inspired me. He performed under far tougher conditions. I had the privilege of resources and a support system—his journey motivated me to go even further,' said Gupta.
He prepared at Allen Career Institute, Kota. He also highlighted how being from Kota—the epicentre of India's coaching industry—played a pivotal role. 'Seeing thousands of students come here from across the country, staying away from families and comfort, pushed me to never take my situation for granted. My mum often reminded me that staying at home, eating home-cooked food, and having my parents around gave me an advantage many didn't have,' he added.
