New Delhi, Apr 19 (PTI) Twenty-four candidates scored a perfect 100 in the engineering entrance JEE (Main), the results of which were announced by the National Testing Agency on Saturday.
Rajasthan had the highest number of candidates with a perfect score. One woman student is among the top scorers.
More than 9.92 lakh candidates had appeared for the second edition of the crucial exam.
According to National Testing Agency (NTA) officials, NTA scores are not the same as the percentage of marks obtained but normalised scores.
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, a senior official explained.
The marks obtained are converted into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees, the official added.
Based on the results of JEE (Main) Paper 1 and Paper 2, the candidates will be shortlisted to appear for JEE (Advanced), which is a one-stop exam for admission to the 23 premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). PTI GJS GJS SZM SZM
