NEW DELHI: After securing a perfect score for her IIT-JEE Mains, Delhi resident Kavya Chopra has now emerged as the female topper in the JEE (Advanced) result, which was declared on Friday.
With a score of 286 out of 360, her common rank list was, however, 98.
An alumna of Delhi Public School, Vasant Kunj, Chopra secured the top rank among the 6,452 female students who qualified in the examinations. A total of 41,862 students have qualified the JEE (Advanced) this year.
The Delhi resident said that while she began her coaching from Class VIII onwards, her formal training and preparations for the JEE began only in Class XI.
“For the first two years, my training was mostly oriented towards Olympiads. It was only in Class XI and XII that I began formal preparations for the JEE,” she said.
Chopra who aims to study computer science from IIT-Delhi said, “Apart from it being the most convenient for me, IIT-Delhi is also one of the best for computer science. I have always been more inclined towards mathematics. However, a career in computer science will enable me to go towards that field. The two are heavily interlinked and the field offers a lot of financial stability as well.”
In her IIT-JEE Mains, Chopra had scored 300 out of 300 marks. A resident of Jaipur, all India topper Mridul Agarwal, who scored 348 out of 360 marks, also appeared from the Delhi zone.
