NTA JEE Main Session 2 result: Topper’s statements
Ghazipur's Himanshu Yadav said, "After scoring a 99.5342192 percentile in the JEE Main first session, I didn't think I could score 100 percentile. I was lucky, and now I’m among the 56 candidates who achieved this score". JEE Main is just a stepping stone. The real test will be JEE Advanced. The All India Rank in JEE Advanced will determine the college and stream I get into," he further explained.
On the other hand, another topper Rachit stated that he was never a studious student till class 10th and never wanted to take non-medical classes in his higher secondary school.
“I never had any plans to pursue engineering but my elder brother, who is presently pursuing engineering in computer science from BITS Pilani, inspired me in setting my aim of taking non-medical and attempting for JEE examination,” he added.
