Happy to see Arohi Deshpande as the topper among women candidates. But honestly, 10,107 female qualifiers out of 56,880 total is still a low number - only about 17.8%. We need more girls in STEM fields. The education system should encourage more participation from women at the grassroots level. 😊
Just a reminder to all qualified students - counselling mein jaana mat bhoolna chahe 12th marks kuch bhi ho. IIT director ne sahi kaha. Mera dost tha jo qualified tha but 12th mein 75% ke karib tha, socha counselling useless hai, par final admission mil gaya. Don't lose hope! 🎯
IIT Delhi zone ka performance toh outstanding hai. But what about students from rural areas? The coaching culture in cities like Kota, Delhi gives an unfair advantage. A student from a small town in Bihar or UP with limited resources can't compete on equal footing. The system needs more inclusivity.
Congratulations to all 56,880 qualifiers! 🥳 But seriously, 1.87 lakh registered, 1.79 lakh appeared, only 56,880 qualified - that's about 31.7%. The competition is insane. Shubham scored 330/360, and second place is just 1 mark less - Kabir got 329. That's so close! Shows how every single mark matters in JEE Advanced.
Kya baat hai! Shubham bhai ne record
