The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the results of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) on Saturday, with 24 students scoring a perfect 100 percentile, ANI reported.
The JEE Main exam was held in two sessions—January and April—and saw a massive turnout, with a total of 15,39,848 unique candidates registered across both sessions. Out of these, 14,75,103 candidates appeared for the exam.
In the January session, 13,11,544 students registered and 12,58,136 appeared. For the April session, 10,61,840 candidates registered, and 9,92,350 appeared for the test.
The computer-based examination was conducted in 13 languages across 300 cities, including 15 international locations such as Dubai, Singapore, Doha, and Washington DC.
Of the 24 students who secured a perfect 100 percentile, Rajasthan produced the highest number with seven toppers, followed by Maharashtra and Telangana with four each. Uttar Pradesh had three, West Bengal two, while Gujarat, Delhi, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh had one each. Among the 24 toppers, two were female candidates.
The NTA also shared the category-wise percentile cut-offs for who can appear in JEE Advanced 2025. For general (UR) candidates, the cut-off was 93.10 percentile. It was 80.38 for EWS, 79.43 for OBC-NCL, 61.15 for SC, and 47.90 for ST. For PwBD candidates in the UR category, the cut-off was 0.0079 percentile.
To keep the exam fair and secure, NTA used strict measures like AI video analysis, 5G jammers, live CCTV, and biometric attendance. Still, results of 110 students were withheld for using unfair means, and 23 more were held due to ID issues, according to the report.
Now that the JEE Main results are out, eligible students can appear for JEE Advanced, which is required for getting into the top IITs. As per ANI, 8,33,536 candidates registered for both sessions and 7,75,383 appeared. For those who gave both, the better score was used in the final result.
