While most class 12 students by now zero-in their list of colleges they wish to study at but 18-year-old Akhil Jain – JEE Main 2020 top scorer believes in taking each step at a time. Rather than celebrating his success, he has decided to focus on JEE Advanced and then, on the basis of the result, he will plan his next move.

Son of a business man and a homemaker, Jain will be the first from his family to join any engineering college. Like most science students, it was his love for physics and maths that made him aim for engineering entrance examinations. “I wanted to become a scientist but then my focus shifted towards engineering. I love solving maths problem and therefore everyone suggested to aim IITs as they have good innovation labs and the brightest science students join it,” said Akhil.

“I will work for the nation’s development, maybe as a civil servant or as a researcher”. Unlike most of his peers, JEE Main 2020 topper from Rajasthan Parth Dwivedi is keen on pursuing higher education in India and not abroad. Parth topped the JEE Main from Rajasthan along with nine others, who scored perfect 100 percentile this year. The 17-year-old aims to pursue Computer Science from IIT Bombay.

According to Parth, his mother’s selfless service to the nation as a police officer inspired him to work for the country. “I grew up seeing my mother’s tireless service for the nation. Whether it is early morning or late at night, my mother was always dedicated to the service,” said the topper.

Among the remaining toppers, five are from Delhi, four from Rajasthan, three from Andhra Pradesh, two from Haryana and one each from Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Last year, too, the same number of candidates were ranked first. However, the best performance was registered by two states -- Telangana and Rajasthan. Four candidates from each state had scored 100 percentile in 2019.

JEE Main cut-off for top NITs is the minimum closing ranks that candidates have to secure in the exam for admission into the institutes. The cut-off is determined after considering some factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, total number of candidates that appeared for the exam, number of candidates applying for admission, category of the candidate, and others.

After the result, candidates might be looking for the previous years’ cut-off for NITs to know about their admission chances. Previous year cut-off for the top NITs has been mentioned below.

Therefore the topper(highest score) of each session will get the same percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate Percentiles.
