Who Is the Topper of JEE Mains 2026?
In JEE Mains, multiple students can share the 100 percentile mark, as the percentile reflects relative performance across all shifts. So there is no single "topper" in the traditional sense. When multiple candidates score 100 NTA percentile, the final All India Rank (AIR) is determined using a tie-breaking hierarchy: Mathematics percentile > Physics percentile > Chemistry percentile.
Among the 26 Session 2 100-percentilers, Aarush Singhal from Chandigarh secured AIR 8. Other notable names include Jonnala Roshan Manideep Reddy (Andhra Pradesh) and Shreyas Mishra (Delhi NCR), who was also among the Session 1 toppers. The final AIR 1 is to be confirmed officially by NTA students can check their individual ranks on the official scorecard at jeemain.nta.nic.in.
