Rajasthan Tops JEE Main 2025 with Three Perfect Scores
The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the JEE Main 2025 Session-1 results on Monday, revealing a remarkable achievement for Rajasthan. The state produced three of the 12 students nationwide who scored a perfect 100, the highest from any state in India.
State Toppers and Their Preparation Journey
The Rajasthan toppers are Kabeer Chhillar, Chiranjib Kar, and Arnav Gautam. All three students prepared at the renowned Allen Institute in Kota, underscoring the city's reputation as a premier coaching hub for engineering entrance exams.
In addition to the perfect scorers, Jaipur boys Shresth Jasoria and Daksh Sehra secured an NTA score of 99.99, becoming the national toppers for the General EWS and ST categories, respectively. Shubham Kumar from Bihar, who also prepared in Kota, achieved a perfect 100, further emphasizing Kota's influence.
Personal Stories of Dedication and Strategy
Kabeer Chhillar moved to Kota from Gurgaon in 2024 after Class 10 to pursue JEE preparation. He chose Kota for its expert guidance and competitive environment. "Hard work in the right direction is crucial," Chhillar said. "I strengthened my preparation through a regular study schedule, consistent revision, and mock tests. After coming to Kota, instead of memorising, I focused more on understanding the concepts in depth." He adopted a methodical approach, breaking topics into small parts, preparing short notes, and revising regularly.
Chiranjib Kar relocated from Jajpur in Odisha to Kota in 2024. "After Class 10, I came to Kota. My love for physics made the preparation journey easy, and the environment here helped a lot," Kar shared. "My younger brother also came to Kota with me and studies here, which helped me through the preparation."
Arnav Gautam, a native of Kota, expressed surprise at his result. "Though I prepared well, this result was unexpected. Now I will be able to focus better on my board exams and the second attempt for JEE Main, as practice sharpens my skills further," he said, highlighting the importance of continuous improvement.
