JEE Main 2025 Session 2 results out: 24 candidates score 100 percentile

The National Testing Agency has announced the results for the Joint Entrance Examination Main 2025 Session 2 for Paper 1 (B.E./BTech.) on its official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.

A total of 24 candidates have achieved a perfect 100 percentile in this session, highlighting the intense competition and academic excellence across the country.

Among the toppers, Rajasthan recorded the highest number, with seven students securing top scores, followed by candidates from Maharashtra, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Delhi, and Andhra Pradesh.

Two of the perfect scorers are female—Devdutta Majhi from West Bengal and Sai Manogna Guthikonda from Andhra Pradesh—showcasing the growing representation of women in STEM fields and competitive academic spaces.

Candidates can now download their scorecards using their application number and date of birth. These scorecards include details such as subject-wise percentiles, raw scores, overall NTA scores, and the All India Rank.

The score also determines eligibility for the upcoming JEE Advanced 2025, the entrance exam for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology.

More than 2.5 lakh candidates have qualified for this next phase.

The NTA has announced the percentile cut-off for the general category as 93.10, while candidates from EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwBD categories benefit from relaxed criteria to ensure broader and more inclusive representation.

Across both January and April sessions, the examination saw 15.39 lakh registrations, with 14.75 lakh actually appearing.

The April session alone recorded over 10.61 lakh registrations and a turnout of approximately 9.92 lakh candidates, reflecting a participation rate of more than 93.5 percent.

The exam was conducted in 531 centers across 300 cities, including 15 international locations, and spanned nine shifts between April 2 and April 8.

The NTA implemented extensive security measures, including AI-based surveillance, biometric verification, and live CCTV monitoring to ensure fairness.

Despite these precautions, 110 candidates were caught using unfair means and had their results canceled, while 23 results have been withheld due to identity-related discrepancies.

The dual-session approach of JEE Main, conducted in January and April, allows candidates the opportunity to appear twice and use their best score for final ranking.

This system has contributed to reduced pressure and more strategic preparation among students.

The percentile-based scoring system used by the NTA helps standardize results across different shifts and difficulty levels, maintaining a level playing field.

These scores now serve as the basis for not only JEE Advanced qualification but also for admission through the JoSAA counselling process into institutions such as NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

Alongside the individual scores, category-wise cutoffs have been made available, offering clarity on admission prospects.

For candidates moving forward, the immediate steps involve downloading and saving the scorecard, verifying JEE Advanced eligibility, and preparing for the next round.

The registration process for JEE Advanced is expected to open soon, and candidates must keep track of all related announcements.

Those not eligible for Advanced can look ahead to the JoSAA counselling process, expected to begin in June 2025.

While not every aspirant will proceed to JEE Advanced, the JoSAA platform offers excellent alternatives for engineering education in India’s top non-IIT institutions.
