Last Updated:June 02, 2025, 11:07 IST

Rajit Gupta from Kota topped JEE Advanced 2025 with AIR 1, after scoring 100 percentile in both January and April sessions of JEE Main.

The results of the country’s most prestigious engineering entrance exam, JEE Advanced 2025, have been declared. This year, All India Rank (AIR) 1 has been secured by Rajit Gupta, a student from Kota. Rajit had earlier achieved 100 percentile in both the January and April sessions of JEE Main 2025, consistently proving his academic excellence across both national-level exams.

Interestingly, Rajit was so confident in his preparation that he didn’t even check the answer key after the JEE exams. He attributes his success to conceptual clarity, discipline, and a calm approach — key qualities that helped him excel in both JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

Rajit hails from Mahaveer Nagar in Kota. His father, Deepak Gupta, is an engineer with BSNL, and his mother, Dr. Shruti Agrawal, is a professor at JDB College. The family resides in Mahaveer Nagar.

A Topper’s Mantra: Happiness, Clarity And A Stress-Free Approach To Success

In his own words, Rajit shares his secret to success: “Happiness is my key to success. I try to stay happy in all situations. I never followed a strict study schedule because that only creates unnecessary pressure. I studied when I felt like it, but whenever I did study, I studied with full focus. I made sure to clear my doubts before moving on to the next topic. My main focus was on not repeating mistakes, because correcting mistakes strengthens your foundation in any subject.”

Despite being the top ranker, Rajit remains grounded and cheerful. He still finds time to play with kids in his colony and enjoys his journey without burdening himself with excessive pressure.
