Five students from Telangana, AP make it to JEE top 20 list
Hyderabad: Five students from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh secured a spot on the top 20 rank holders list in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2025, the results of which were released on Monday.
The IIT-Hyderabad zone, comprising the two Telugu states apart from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, saw 23 candidates feature in the top 100.
A total of 12,946 students from this zone qualified in the examination.
Hyderabad boy Arnav Singh secured an All-India Rank (AIR) 9, while Vadlamudi Lokesh from AP clinched AIR 10. The other three students in the top 20 were: Dharmana Gnana Rutvik Sai (AIR 18), Vangala Ajay Reddy (AIR 19), and Avanaganti Anirudh Reddy (AIR 20).
All toppers said they want to pursue a B Tech in computer sciences from the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B).
"I have been interested in engineering since I was 12. I always wanted to study computer science, and I am very happy that I can now fulfil my dream," an elated Lokesh told TOI. The teenager, son of an NGO employee from Vijayawada, said he started preparing for the exam in class 7 and had been staying away from his family — at a residential coaching centre in Hyderabad — for the last six years for this.
The two states also threw up several category toppers. While Ajay emerged as all-India topper in the General-Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category, Rutvik stood at the top of the charts in the OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) category. Korikana Rasagnya, who secured AIR 78 was the female topper from the state.
"I regret making some silly mistakes in the exam. Else, I would have definitely secured a spot in the top 5.
However, I am happy that I am the topper in the General-EWS category," said Ajay, a resident of Kurnool, who has been living in Hyderabad since class 9.
Many students who secured ranks from the other zones are also students of the two corporate colleges – Narayana Group and Sri Chaitanya Group — that have their main campuses in the Telugu states.
Meanwhile, students from social and tribal welfare and Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) in Telangana also scored well, especially in the SC and ST categories. While G Soniya from EMRS secured AIR 63 in the ST category, N Shiva from the tribal welfare society clinched the AIR 95 position in the same category.
