VADODARA: Around 1,000 students from Vadodara have qualified for the JEE Advanced. After the results of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) main were declared on Wednesday, students who cleared it have begun studying for the JEE Advanced exams.
Clearing the advanced examination is a must to get entry into the prestigious Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs), National Institute of Technologies (NITs) and other centrally funded technical institutes.
“We had 450 students of whom 347 have qualified for the advanced examination. From these, 37 have secured All India Rank under 10,000,” said S R Mishra, director of IIT Ashram, Vadodara. “Students who have cleared the mains examination, will now have to prepare for the advanced examination as the result and ranking of this examination alone will not help them secure admission at IITs and NITs,” he said.
“My result in the second mains examination is little better than the first examination. I had expected the ranking as I had prepared really well for the examination,” said Manav Shah, who secured AIR 113.
Shah’s parents, both of whom are government school teachers in Anand, were overjoyed with their son’s result. “I have started preparation for the advanced examination already as I plan to pursue computer science engineering from one of the IITs,” Shah said.
