JEE-Main result: 24 candidates score perfect 100

New Delhi: At least 24 candidates have scored a perfect 100 in engineering entrance exam JEE-Main, while the result of five students has been withheld, for using unfair means, according to the National Testing Agency (NTA). The cumulative result of two sessions of JEE-Main was declared on Monday. Maximum candidates who have scored 100 NTA scores are from Andhra Pradesh (5) and Telangana (5) followed by Rajasthan (4). One candidate each from Haryana, Maharashtra, Assam, Bihar, Punjab, Kerala, Karnataka, and Jharkhand, has bagged the perfect score. According to officials, the NTA score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained. “NTA scores are normalised scores across multi-session papers and are based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the examination in one session. The marks obtained are converted into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of the examinees,” a senior official said.
