On the other hand, Dakshesh Mishra, who relocated to Kota for his preparation, attributed his success to a disciplined study routine, focusing extensively on the NCERT syllabus and rigorous practice sessions.
The JEE-Mains saw a total of fifty-six candidates, including seven from Maharashtra, achieving the coveted 100 percentile score. In cases where multiple candidates secure the same National Testing Agency (NTA) scores, a meticulous tie-breaking method is employed. The NTA evaluates scores in mathematics, followed by physics, and then chemistry to determine rankings. Should the tie persist, candidates are ranked based on the proportion of attempted incorrect to correct answers across all subjects, with precedence given to mathematics, physics, and then chemistry. If parity still remains, factors such as the candidate’s age and application number are utilized for ranking purposes.
