“We would have been happy with any rank he got; this is just a bonus,” his father Mohit Chhillar, an IIT Kharagpur alumnus, told indianexpress.com. “Our fundamentals and principles were very clear — do what you can, and do it honestly.” His mother, Priyanka Chhillar, is a private school teacher.
The exam was conducted by a different IIT each year. Candidates who had achieved the cut-off in the JEE Main exam were allowed to sit for the JEE Advanced exam.
The admission process will start within a few days. However, qualifying in the exam, filling up the choices and participating in the seat allocation process does not give any guarantee that the candidate will get admission at IIT. The admission process is fully dependent on merit, along with the availability of the seats during the seat allocation process.
The aggregate marks are calculated as the total of the marks scored in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. To get included in the rank list, students have to score marks in subject-wise and overall in all the subjects.
Shubham's father, Shiv Kumar, runs a hardware business in Gaya, while his mother, Kanchan Devi, is a homemaker. Despite frequent reports of student suicides and academic pressure in Kota, he said he chose to focus on the city's academic ecosystem rather than the negative coverage.

Arohi Deshpande, also from the IIT Delhi zone, is the top-ranked female candidate, securing an overall CRL of 77 with 280 out of 360 marks.
Shubham Kumar has topped JEE Advanced 2026. His father, Shiv Kumar, runs a hardware business in Gaya, Bihar, while his mother, Kanchan Devi, is a homemaker. Despite Kota frequently making headlines over student suicides, Shubham said he chose not to be influenced by negative news reports and instead focused on the city's long-established coaching ecosystem that attracts thousands of aspirants every year for competitive examinations. He also maintained a self-imposed ban on social media and used his phone only to stay in touch with his parents and teachers. According to Shubham, he studied for 8-10 hours daily and reserved Sundays for his hobbies, which include cricket and badminton. "Whenever I felt stressed, I would meditate for five to ten minutes," he said.
Shubham Kumar claimed the All India Rank 1, scoring a 330 out of 360 marks. Close on his heels is Kabeer Chhillar, who scored 329 out of 360, separated from the topper by a single mark. Jatin Chahar rounds off the podium with 319 out of 360, also from the IIT Delhi zone.
Here's what IIT-Roorkee's position on Class 12 scores:
1) For JoSAA counselling registration: The qualified candidates are welcome to register, regardless of their Class 12 marks or percentage.
2) For final seat confirmation/admission — This is where the Class 12 eligibility criteria kick back in. For admission, candidates must satisfy the Class 12 criteria: aggregate 75% (65% for SC/ST/PwD) OR be within the top 20th percentile of their respective board.
The Common Rank List (CRL) is dominated entirely by candidates from the IIT Delhi zone, which has produced the top three rankers this year.

This year’s top scorer, Shubham Kumar of the IIT Delhi zone, obtained 330 out of 360 marks in JEE (Advanced). The top-ranked female candidate, Arohi Deshpande, also from the IIT Delhi zone, scored 280 out of 360 and holds CRL 77.
The press release states that all qualified candidates are strongly encouraged to register for the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2026 counselling process, “irrespective of the marks or percentage obtained in the Class 12 (or equivalent) examination.”
While JoSAA is welcoming all qualifiers into the counselling queue regardless of their board scores, the notification follows: “final seat confirmation/admission shall be subject to the candidate fulfilling the percentage-related eligibility criteria and other applicable conditions as specified in the JEE (Advanced) 2026 Information Brochure.”
Meaning, a candidate can participate in counselling and even be allotted a seat, but that seat will not be confirmed unless they meet the Class 12 percentage threshold laid down in the information brochure.
While the basics of JEE preparation may not have changed much over the past decade, the tools around it are evolving. What if a JEE aspirant could instantly identify the chapters where they are losing marks? Or which physics question did they take too long to solve during a mock test? For students preparing for one of India’s most competitive exams, AI-powered tools are gradually changing how they practise, revise, and analyse their performance.
At the centre of preparing for a national-level entrance test like the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) remains the classic trifecta of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Candidates must practise hundreds of problems and manage their time carefully. But the tools supporting this preparation are evolving. Artificial Intelligence-driven platforms, mock test analytics, and personalised feedback are slowly entering coaching centres and mock-test sessions.
For many aspirants, the first interaction with AI happens through doubt-solving or concept-explainer tools. Students increasingly turn to chatbots or AI assistants when they struggle with a question late at night or want a quick breakdown of a complex concept. But the bigger transformation is happening in performance analysis and personalised preparation.
This year, the JEE Advanced exam was conducted on May 17. The exam was conducted in double shifts. The timing of the exam was for 3 hours. Paper 1 was conducted in the morning shift from 9 am to 12 noon, and Paper 2 was conducted in the afternoon shift from 2 pm to 5 pm.

General Engineering is a multidisciplinary programme that introduces students to core subjects from various engineering branches. Instead of early specialisation, students study fundamentals such as mechanics, electronics, design, programming, materials science, and thermodynamics. As the programme advances, electives may be chosen in applied areas like robotics, industrial engineering, product design, or energy systems. The objective is to develop engineers who can integrate knowledge across disciplines—a valuable ability in industries where systems are interconnected and problem-solving requires a holistic approach.
Engineering Science follows a more analytical path by combining engineering concepts with strong scientific foundations. Students study advanced mathematics, computational modelling, physics, and emerging technologies alongside core engineering subjects. Later, they specialise in areas such as data science, semiconductor technology, applied physics, nanotechnology, or materials research. The programme nurtures critical thinking, scientific investigation, and conceptual depth, preparing students for advanced research and innovation-driven careers.
A Mining Engineer is the architect, geologist, and operations director of a mine. Their curriculum weaves together rock mechanics, drilling and blasting, mine planning, ventilation systems, environmental management, and safety law. They look at the macro picture of how to extract a resource profitably, safely, and with environmental accountability. When a colliery in Jharkhand needs to plan its next five years of production, or a new iron ore project in Odisha requires a feasibility study, these are the people in the room.
A Mining Machinery Engineer is, at heart, a specialised mechanical and electrical engineer. They don’t look at the whole mine, they look at the asset. Their coursework runs deep into machine design, hydraulics and pneumatics, electrical drives, structural analysis, robotics, and the predictive maintenance technologies keeping massive equipment operational around the clock. They understand why a 300-tonne haul truck fails, how to optimise a continuous miner, and how to design a more resilient conveyor belt for abrasive Indian co

Coming to IIT in November 2022 was also my first experience of living independently. Although I was still in Chennai and could visit home a few times every month, hostel life was a completely new experience. One thing that made the transition easier was the inclusivity on campus. Since I follow Jain dietary restrictions and avoid onion, garlic, and potato, among other things, I was relieved to find that IIT Madras had a separate pure vegetarian mess with a dedicated Jain food section.
