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.
