JEE Advanced 2025 Results Declared: Rajit Gupta Tops from IIT Delhi Zone
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has officially declared the results of JEE Advanced 2025, bringing both relief and excitement to thousands of engineering aspirants across the country. Standing tall among lakhs of candidates is Rajit Gupta, a bright young mind from the IIT Delhi zone, who has secured the All India Rank 1 (AIR 1) and emerged as the topper of JEE Advanced 2025.
The results were published on the official website — jeeadv.ac.in, where students can check their scores and qualifying status.
Who is Rajit Gupta? The Story Behind the AIR 1
Rajit’s success story is one of relentless dedication, emotional resilience, and a deep passion for learning. Hailing from Delhi, Rajit had a dream of studying at IIT Bombay in the Computer Science stream — a goal he kept close to his heart since his middle school days.
Supported by his parents and mentors, Rajit maintained a disciplined routine, often studying up to 10 hours a day, with equal focus on theory, problem-solving, and mental well-being. Unlike many, Rajit openly spoke about taking regular breaks, spending time with friends, and practicing meditation to keep his stress in check.
In Rajit’s Own Words
“More than the hours you study, it’s the consistency and clarity that matter. I faced my share of failures, but every test and every low score pushed me to learn more and grow stronger,” Rajit shared in a heartfelt message after his results.

What Made This Year Different?
This year’s JEE Advanced saw some notable changes in the paper pattern and evaluation methods. The difficulty level remained moderate to tough, with Paper 1 testing deeper conceptual understanding and Paper 2 leaning more on logical application.
There was a strong emphasis on analytical thinking, pushing students to not just memorize formulas but also apply them to real-world problem scenarios.
What’s Next for the Qualified Candidates?
All qualifying students can now participate in the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2025 counselling, which begins shortly after the declaration of results. Students will be able to select their preferred IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs based on their rank and availability.
Those aiming for the top branches like Computer Science in IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi will face stiff competition, but early counselling and strategic choices can make a big difference.
