Ahmedabad: Four students from Ahmedabad made it to the Top 100 in All-India Rank (AIR) in the IIT-JEE Advanced result announced on Monday. Mohit Agrawal scored 315 marks and is AIR 12, followed by Mann Patel at AIR 43, Rishabh Iyer at AIR 48, and Shiven Toshniwal at AIR 58.
Out of the total, only Shiven was among the Top 10 in IIT-JEE Mains.
Ellis Patel at AIR 155 is believed to be the state topper among girls.
Mohit had secured AIR 90 in JEE Mains. "I was hoping for even better marks, but I made a few mistakes which cost me. I want to pursue either computer science at IIT Bombay or a mathematics course at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru," said Mohit, son of a chartered accountant father and homemaker mother.
A regular at Olympiads, Mohit wishes to pursue a career in research. "Maths has always been my favourite subject that motivated me to take up engineering," he added.
Mann Patel scored 299 marks to get AIR 43. He secured AIR 274 in JEE Mains. A student of Utkarsh High School in Bopal, Mann is the son of a scientist at the Institute of Plasma Research (IPR). His father, Hitesh Patel, told TOI that for the past three years, Mann prepared for the exam without any break.
"He would not even attend family functions. The hard work paid off. He hopes to get admission in the computer science course at IIT-B," he said.
From AIR 165 in JEE Mains, Rishabh Iyer improved to AIR 48 in the Advanced exam. A student of Divya Jyot School, Rishabh was preparing for the exam for the past three years. "My parents are doctors – a paediatrician and a physician – but I always gravitated towards mathematics, which motivated me to take up engineering.
My parents have also supported my decision wholeheartedly," said Rishabh, adding that he is hopeful of getting computer science at IIT-B.
Shiven Toshniwal at AIR 58 is sure of getting computer science at IIT-B. "The counselling will start soon, and it is a dream come true as I will be pursuing the course with some of my friends from the city," said Toshniwal, who was AIR 9 in JEE Mains. "I shifted base from Anjar in Kutch to Ahmedabad when I was in Class 9. My parents are a paediatrician and an orthopaedic surgeon, but they always helped me pursue my dream to get into IIT.

With help from tech institutes, UP to revive 75 small rivers
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh govt has initiated the process of breathing new life into 75 small and tributary rivers across the state through a well-coordinated and technology driven campaign. Acting on the directives of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a strategic plan was implemented with the collaboration of 10 key departments and leading technical institutions to ensure an effective and sustainable river rejuvenation programme. A divisional-level monitoring committee, headed by the respective divisional commissioner, was constituted to oversee the implementation and quality of the work. The revival effort is receiving technical expertise from premier institutes such as IIT Kanpur, IIT (BHU), IIT Roorkee and BBAU Lucknow, which are preparing river-specific plans based on detailed studies of geographical, ecological and social factors. The campaign, originally conceptualised in 2018 under the MGNREGA scheme, has now evolved into a structured and technologically driven exercise. Activities under the programme include stream cleaning, water channelling, rainwater harvesting and extensive plantation drives.

Indore shows the way to a beggar-free city at national workshop
Indore: Indore, which earned the 'beggar-free city' tag, showcased its plan and execution to senior officials from around 100 cities in a national-level workshop on Friday. The social justice department also assured support to empower marginalised artisans, who gave up begging and are now making 19 product items in Indore, by providing them with a platform for global exposure and sales of their products through e-marketing. The one-day workshop and training programme, focused on the 'Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Persons Engaged in Begging' under the SMILE sub-scheme, was chaired by Amit Yadav, Secretary of the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment. It saw participation from nodal officers and representatives of implementing agencies from across India. Rupali Jain, from an Indore-based NGO involved in the 'beggar-free city' campaign, informed the gathering about their plans and execution. This included extending care to persons with mental and other disabilities, bedridden and elderly individuals who were seeking alms to feed themselves, along with identifying and taking action against 'beggar-gangs'. Additionally, children rescued from begging were sent to schools, and homeless kids were provided shelters in different centres in Indore. Many rescued individuals are now making 19 products that were showcased in the workshop. Senior officials from the social justice department assured local officials of an online platform to sell these products through its 'TULIP' (Traditional Artisans' Upliftment Livelihood Programme). The goal of TULIP is to empower marginalised artisans by providing them with a platform for global exposure and sales of their products through e-marketing. In the workshop, Additional Secretary Karalin Khongwar Deshmukh delivered the welcome speech, followed by addresses from Principal Secretary Sonali Ponkshe Wayanganakar. Indore Collector Asheesh Singh, IMC Commissioner Shivam Verma, and ISCDL CEO Divyank Singh also marked their presence.

From failing Class 11 to IIT Roorkee: Panipuri seller's son shows why failure is never final
Harsh Gupta is nineteen and grew up in Kalyan, Maharashtra. This week he learned that he will start classes at IIT Roorkee after clearing JEE Advanced on his second try. The result has put him at the centre of an online wave of praise and curiosity. A modest home and a big dream Harsh lives with his parents, grandmother and two younger brothers in a two-room chawl. His father, Santosh Gupta, runs a roadside panipuri cart that covers basic bills but little more. Money for coaching and tests often came from small loans and emptied savings jars. Health kept getting in the way Class 11 was a disaster. Harsh failed because recurring rectal prolapse forced him to miss exams and spend days in hospital beds. The condition still flares up, but treatment and strict routines now keep it under control. Learning about IIT after Class 10 Unlike many aspirants who target the exam from middle school, Harsh first heard the term 'IIT' during the Covid lockdown. A teacher showed him videos about engineering campuses. Curiosity turned into a plan. Kota, second chances and long hours With his family's backing, Harsh moved to Kota and joined Motion Education. Hostel walls and coaching timetables replaced home comforts. He studied up to twelve hours a day, cleared Class 12, and posted a 98.9 percentile in JEE Main. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like So sánh mức trượt giá: Hợp đồng tương lai (CFD) Bitcoin vs Ethereum IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo His first shot at JEE Advanced fell short. He took a gap year, tried again, and secured an all-India rank near sixteen thousand, enough for IIT Roorkee. Keeping critics at arm's length Relatives and classmates once joked that a street-food vendor's son could never reach an IIT. Harsh stopped listening. He says the real pressure came only from himself and the thought of his father pushing that cart until midnight. A message for other students 'Do not let a single failure write your story,' he told reporters after the results. 'Get help, rest if you are sick, then start again.' He adds that low-cost online lectures and public libraries filled many gaps when money for extra material ran out. What happens next Harsh has been allotted geotechnical engineering but hopes to slide into geophysical engineering in a later round. Long term he wants to sit for the civil-services exam and work on infrastructure projects in small towns like his own. For now the family is planning the long train ride to Roorkee and saving for a basic laptop. 'I will keep the cart going,' Santosh Gupta said, 'but my son will not push it.' Harsh's journey is a reminder that steady effort can outlast illness, poverty and even an early failure stamp on a report card. The road was built one small step at a time, and it leads straight into an IIT classroom this August. Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future. Get expert guidance now!
