Qualifying scores for JEE (A) at 4-yr low for SC, ST & OBC candidates
The qualifying scores to take the JEE (Advanced) 2022 are at a four-year low for scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and OBC candidates, while for the general category the cut-off is marginally higher than last year, according to the scores released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on Monday. State-wise, the highest number of candidates to qualify were from UP (35,170), followed by Maharashtra (25,953) and Telangana (25,796).
A total of 99.6% of the 2,480 candidates in the persons with disabilities (PwD) category qualified. In the June session of the test, not a single student from Maharashtra had made it to the list of 100 percentilers. Last year, 44 students scored 100 percentile across the four JEE (Main) sessions in the country, five of whom were from Maharashtra.
In 2020, 24 students bagged the perfect score in two sessions, one of whom was from Maharashtra. In 2019, out of 24 students with a 100 score in two sessions, three were from the state. Jahnabi Roy, an 18-year-old Mira Road resident, is the state girl topper in the July session of the JEE (Main), securing 99.99 percentile. Roy said she was clear about the score she was to bag. Roy even sat for the JEE (Main) in June. While her first love is science, she picked engineering as she is curious about the way nature works and the mysteries that the universe holds. She has been preparing for the JEE since Class 7. “I have taken the various science Olympiads too and my goal was very clear,” she said. Inspired by her parents who are both engineers, Roy has always been “academically strong, and my motto for success is sincerity, curiosity, vigorous practice and self-study,” she told TOI.
In the case of Ojas Maheshwari from Andheri who also scored 99.99 percentile, he never let his hearing impairment come in the way of his education. “He has been working very hard for the JEE. He aims to join computer science from IIT-B,” said Pooja Maheshwari, his mother. Atotal of 5.4 lakh aspirants took the entrance test in the recently concluded session held in 440 cities, including 17 cities outside India.
