Top Achievers: Ved Lahoti and Dwija Patel
Ved Lahoti and Dwija Patel stand out among the best performers. Originally from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Ved studied for the test in Kota, Rajasthan, a location known for its demanding coaching environment. His methodical study regimen, which included a 14-hour workday, paid off when he achieved the best score in JEE Advanced ever. Ved, who is very interested in computer science engineering, intends to study it at IIT Bombay.
Top among female applicants was Dwija Patel of the IIT Bombay zone, who scored an astounding 332 and placed seventh overall in India. Dwija, on the other hand, preferred to remain at home and enrol in a local coaching institution since she felt more at ease and concentrated in familiar circumstances. Top ranking students often choose IIT Bombay’s Computer Science Engineering department, which is where Ved and Dwija have their sights set.
Zonal Contributions and Distribution of Qualified Candidates
The zone around IIT Madras—which includes Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry—was the largest supplier of eligible applicants. Four out of the top 10 rankers and 145 of the top 500 applicants came from this zone. This zone’s steady success highlights both its fierce competitiveness and solid academic base.

New Counselling Process and Future Plans of Toppers

Among the other outstanding performers, Aditya, who placed second with a score of 346, intends to study computer science at IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay. Aditya, who is now competing for India at the Asian Physics Olympiad in Malaysia, also wants to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for further study. Aditya’s father Pawan Kumar emphasised his love of physics and his successes in international Olympiads.
Apart from Bhavya Tiwari of Noida, who scored AIR-19 with 323 points, Kanav Choudhary of Ghaziabad scored AIR-56 with 311 points. These students are models of commitment and brilliance, encouraging the next generations to pursue academic goals with great promise.
