Bengaluru students have come out with flying colours to be among the toppers of the JEE (Joint Entrance Examinations) Mains. The results of the main exams were declared on Wednesday.
Bengaluru, 28 April 2016: Milind Kumar Vaddiraju from BASE Bengaluru has scored 308 out of 360 marks and is among the toppers from Bengaluru. His preparations have been consistent - studying four to five hours every day, Vaddiraju told Deccan Herald.
A student of Sardar Patel PU College, Vaddiraju said, “I will focus on preparing for the advanced examination. I hope to get a seat in IIT Mumbai in Engineering Physics and then go for higher studies abroad.”
Meanwhile, about 150 students from Deeksha Network have qualified for the JEE Advanced. Rahul B S scored 303, Chinmay M Dharmendra scored 291, Abhishek S B scored 255, Preetham Venkatesh scored 254. Rahul said, “My preparation was good and I was expecting to score 308. However, I am happy with my score. I want to get into the field of research in Quantum Physics. Just a week before the exam, we solved 15-20 mock papers, which were very helpful.”
Dharmendra, an aspirant for a seat in IISc, said, “I hope to get into research at IISc, in the field of Atomic Model.”
Based on their scores in JEE Mains, students will qualify to write JEE Advanced. Should they clear the advanced exam, they will get an opportunity to join either of the IITs.
The candidates who clear JEE-Mains, but do not clear JEE Advanced can seek admission in other engineering colleges such as Indian Institute of Information Technology, National Institute of Technology and other government and private engineering colleges. Selection to other engineering colleges will be done on the basis of a cumulative score of 40% of the normalised marks a student secures in the XII Board exams and 60% of marks obtained in JEE-Mains.
