With the announcement of results Monday, the toppers of the JEE (Advanced) attributed their success to focus, discipline, and in some cases, keeping a safe distance from social media.
For the 2025 topper, Rajit Gupta, a resident of Kota, focus, not missing classes, and keeping time for extracurricular activities, contributed to his success.
“I never missed my coaching classes and used to study for eight hours after classes. I kept solving previous years’ question papers and always had time for extracurricular activities to keep my mind fresh,” Rajit said.
He said he wants to join IIT Bombay and pursue Computer Science.
Saksham Jindal, who ranked second in the common rank list, was once an under-14 district-level cricketer. He once had dreams of making it big in cricket. However, the Covid-19 pandemic altered his path. Lockdown kept him away from practice. It was during this time that Jindal developed an interest in mathematics and participated in the Olympiads.
Saksham wants to take admission at IIT Bombay for a BTech in Computer Science Engineering. Born into a family of doctors – with mother Dr Anita Jindal, a physiotherapist, and father Umesh Jindal, a pathologist – Saksham went out of his family league to become an engineer.
Sharing his preparation strategy, Saksham’s father said, “He tried his best to understand every chapter in depth and practice questions as many times as he could. This strengthened his confidence. For JEE Advanced, he relied on the NCERT syllabus and mock tests.”
