With the results of JEE (Adv) exams being declared, several students from the city have bagged ranks in the top 500 this year. City boy Rahul Bhardwaj bagged the AIR 20 at the exams with a score of 320 out of 366 marks.
Bhardwaj, a resident of Colaba's Navy Nagar, wants to take up Computer Science at IIT Bombay.
"I knew that I would get a good score but this rank comes as a pleasant surprise. While there was some anxiety in the beginning, I gained confidence in the last few months after the preparations were almost complete," said Bhardwaj. Rahul wants to research on Artificial intelligence.
Arjit Jain, who studies at IITians PACE secured AIR 54, another city topper. "I was expecting a better rank based on my paper but since IITs are offering bonus marks for ambiguous questions this year, I have fallen many ranks.

Sravya Devulapalli, also a student of FIIT JEE was one of the top scorers amongst girls with AIR 595. "When I started preparing for JEE, there was no expectation at all.
