NTA announces JEE (Main) results; 24 students score perfect 100

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the results of the JEE (Main) examination on Saturday, in which a total of twenty-four candidates have secured a perfect score of 100.

Rajasthan emerged as the leading state in terms of high scorers, with the largest number of candidates attaining the top mark. Among the high achievers is one female student.

Meanwhile, results for 110 candidates have been put on hold after they were found to have resorted to unfair means, including submission of forged documents.

The second session of the highly competitive examination saw participation from more than 9.92 lakh students across the country.

Officials from the NTA clarified that the scores released are not direct percentages but rather normalised scores, which adjust for variations across multiple exam sessions.

A senior official elaborated that these scores reflect relative performance within each session, where raw marks are converted onto a uniform scale ranging from 100 to 0.

Candidates who clear both Paper 1 and Paper 2 of the JEE (Main) will qualify to sit for the JEE (Advanced), the decisive examination for entry into India’s 23 elite Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
