Twenty-four candidates achieved a perfect score of 100 in the JEE (Main) engineering entrance exam, the results of which the National Testing Agency announced today, Saturday, April 19, 2025.
Rajasthan boasted the highest number of top-scoring candidates, and one female student was among those who achieved a perfect score.
The results of 110 candidates were withheld due to the use of unfair means, including the submission of forged documents.
Over 992,000 candidates participated in the second session of this important examination.
National Testing Agency (NTA) officials clarified that NTA scores are normalized scores across multiple exam sessions, not simply the percentage of marks obtained. A senior official explained that these scores are based on the relative performance of all candidates who appeared for the exam in a particular session. The official further added that the raw marks obtained are converted to a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
Based on the outcomes of JEE (Main) Paper 1 and Paper 2, candidates will be shortlisted for the JEE (Advanced) exam, the single gateway for admission to the 23 prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
