Jaipur's Mridul Agarwal's score of 348 out of 360 is the highest by a student in the JEE Advanced examination since 2011.

With the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur declaring the results of the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced (JEE Advanced) today, October 15, Mridul Agarwal has emerged as the topper with 96.66% by scoring 348 out of 360. This is the highest ever scored by a studen in the JEE Advanced examination since 2011.

17-year-old Mridul belongs to Jaipur.

He had topped the JEE Main 2021 examination as well and secured 100 percentile with a perfect 300 score in Session 1 and Session 2. 

When Mridul had topped the JEE mains in March, he had said he wants to pursue BTech in Computer Science from the IIT-Bombay. “Pichai’s success is an inspiration for many like me — from passing out from IIT to becoming the CEO of tech giant Google. I also want to work in some top tech company or will run my own start-up,” said Mridul.
