Candidates can access their results on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. This year, a total of 56 candidates have achieved a perfect 100 percentile. Among them, 15 candidates scored 100 percentile, with seven each from Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, six from Delhi, and five from Rajasthan. Notably, Sanvi Jain from Karnataka and Shayna Sinha from Delhi are the two female candidates who have achieved the perfect score, continuing the trend of increasing female participation and success in engineering entrance exams.
