JEE Main 2024 Session 1 result declared; 23 students get 100 percentile

In the recent JEE Main 2024 exam, 23 students got the highest score possible, but none of them were girls. Dwija Dharmeshkumar Patel from Gujarat topped among state candidates with a score of 99.99.  Telangana had the most students with the highest score (7), followed by Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan, each with three. Delhi and Haryana had 2 top scorers, while Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Karnataka had one each.

This year, over 12 million students registered for the JEE Main exam, with about 11.7 million actually taking it.
Last year, 43 students achieved the highest score, with only one girl from Karnataka. Most were from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan, with smaller numbers from other states.
For general category candidates, the cutoff score for JEE Advanced was 90.77 in 2023, up from previous years.
To make sure the JEE Main results are fair, the National Testing Agency uses a process called normalization. This adjusts scores based on the difficulty of the exam across different sessions, so all students have an equal chance.
