Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Telangana stand out as the top three states, contributing more than one-third (30.7%) of the total eligible candidates for JEE (Advanced). These states consistently produce a significant number of eligible candidates for the exam.
Moreover, 11 states boast more than 11,000 qualifying candidates, constituting close to 79% of the total qualifiers. Among them, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, alongside the top three states, have over 21,000 eligible candidates each. The JEE (Main) witnessed a substantial registration of 14.1 lakh candidates this year, with over 75% participating in both exam sessions, showcasing an impressive 96% attendance rate.
