43 candidates bag perfect 100 score in JEE-Main: National Testing Agency
New Delhi, Apr 29: Forty-three candidates have bagged the perfect 100 score in the engineering entrance exam JEE-Main with maximum of them being from Telangana, the National Testing Agency announced on Saturday.
The result of at least 15 candidates has been withheld on account of usage of unfair means.
The 43 toppers include 32 from the general category, seven from the OBC category and three from gen-EWS and one SC category. While Dipen Sojitra is the PwD topper with 99.99 NTA score, the SC topper is Deshank Pratap Singh with 100 NTA score and ST topper is Dheeravath Thanuj with 99.99041.
"The National Testing Agency (NTA) scores of 15 candidates have been withheld as they are under scrutiny. The cases of these candidates are being placed before a committee separately. Their NTA scores will be declared once the committee finalises its report," a senior NTA official said.
NTA score is not the same as percentage of marks obtained but normalised scores.
"NTA scores are normalised scores across multi-session papers and are based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the examination in one session. The marks obtained are converted into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees," the official explained.
Among the candidates who scored 100 NTA scores are from Telangana (11) followed by Rajasthan (5), Uttar Pradesh (4), Gujarat (3), Andhra Pradesh (4), Karantaka (3), Mahasashtra (2), Delhi (2), one each from Haryana and Chandigarh, West Bengal and Kerala, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
While the first edition of the exam was conducted in January, the second edition was scheduled in April.
Based on the results of JEE-Mains Paper 1 and Paper 2, the top 2.6 lakh candidates will be eligible to appear for the JEE-Advanced exam, which is a one-stop exam to get admission into the 23 premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Last year, the qualifying percentile at JEE (Main) to be eligible for JEE (Advanced), the entrance test for admission to IITs, has registered a four-year-low for all the reserved categories and a three-year low for the unreserved category.
The examination was conducted at 457 unique examination centres in 325 cities (including 23 cities outside India in Manama, Brasilia, Toronto, Beijing, Paris, Berlin, Doha, Dubai, Sharjah, Kathmandu, Muscat, Oslo, Riyadh, Sharjah, Singapore, Kuwait City, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos/Abuja, Colombo, Jakarta, Vienna, Moscow, Port Louis/Reduit, and Bangkok).
The cities of Brasilia, Toronto, Berlin, Paris and Oslo were added for the first time.

Delhi court sentences CBI joint director to 3 months' imprisonment in IRS officer assault case
New Delhi (PTI): A Delhi court has sentenced two CBI officers to three months' imprisonment for assaulting and trespassing into the residence of an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer during a raid over two decades ago.
Judicial Magistrate Shashank Nandan Bhatt was hearing the arguments on the sentence against the convicted retired police officer V K Pandey and Ramneesh, who was serving as a superintendent of police when the raid was conducted in 2000.
Ramneesh is at present a joint director at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The court also fined Rs 50,000 each to both the accused.
Both were accused under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 427 (mischief) and 448 (criminal trespass) in a complaint filed by IRS officer Ashok Kumar Aggarwal.
The case pertained to an incident on October 19, 2000, when a CBI team carried out a search and arrest operation at Aggarwal's residence in Paschim Vihar.
Aggarwal alleged that the officials forcibly entered his house in the early hours, assaulted him and violated legal procedures during the arrest.
