DUBAI resident Yatharth Samirkumar Shah secured the ‘Outside India Topper’ with a 99.99 percentile in the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE).
Considered one of the toughest exams in the world, the JEE is a standardised test that gives its applicants the opportunity to get into some of the premiere educational institutions in India.
Yatharth is now preparing for the JEE Advanced exam as he hopes to get into a college of his choice. “I want to study computer science at IIT Bombay,” he said. “I didn’t expect to get such a high score and be the outside India topper. I was expecting a good score but honestly, I hadn’t expected it to be this good. The result has exceeded my expectations.” “Now I am focusing on preparing for the JEE Advanced.
My first choice of college would be the IITs in India. If I am able to get a good rank, I would love to study at the college that I’ve been aiming for a long time,” added the IHS Oud Mehta student. The JEE exams are conducted in two parts – JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. This year over 1.2 million students appeared for the NTA JEE Mains 2024 exam.
