10 Gujaratis rank in the Top 100 in JEE Advanced: AIR 12 for Ahmedabad’s Mohit

The results of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced, the gateway for admission into various Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other institutes, have been declared. For the first time, 10 students from Gujarat have secured positions in the top 100 national ranks. 

In 2024, six students from the state were in the top 100. A student from Gujarat had secured the 7th rank. However, this year, no student from Gujarat has made it to the top 10. However, Ahmedabad’s Mohit Agrawal has ranked 12th nationally, placing him among the top 20.

Students from Gujarat in top 100

A total of 6,935 students registered for the JEE Advanced from Gujarat exam this year. Out of these, 6,343 appeared, and 2,095 qualified—resulting in a 33% success rate. Notably, for the first time, 10 students from Gujarat have made it into the top 100 ranks. Ahmedabad’s Mohit Agrawal scored 315 out of 390 and secured a spot in the top 20 nationally.

It is estimated that over 30 students from Gujarat are ranked in the top 500 across the country. This marks the first time that the number of top-rankers from the state has increased so significantly, leading to Gujarat's highest-ever result in the exam.
