5 students from T, AP make it to JEE top 20 club
The IIT-Hyderabad zone, comprising the two Telugu states apart from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, saw 23 candidates figure in the top 100 rank holders bracket.
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 B Tech programme 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 from Class 7 and had been staying away from his family — at a residential coaching centre in Hyderabad — for the last six years.
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 performed 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.

7 study mistakes sabotaging your competitive exam dreams
For millions of aspirants, cracking a competitive exam—be it UPSC, NEET, JEE, CAT, or SSC—is the holy grail of academic success. Libraries become second homes, mock tests become routine, and hours are clocked into exhaustive preparation schedules. Yet, despite intense effort and commitment, many fall short. Why? Contrary to popular belief, it's not always lack of intelligence or dedication that derails success. It's the subtle, often-overlooked study strategy blunders—habits that masquerade as discipline but quietly sabotage progress. Here's a deep dive into seven such strategic missteps that may be the real culprits behind missed selections. The 'More is Better' trap: Quantity over quality In the frenzy to cover the vast syllabus, students often measure success by the number of chapters completed or hours spent studying. But a sprawling 12-hour study session without focus is far less effective than 4 hours of targeted, active learning. The Fix: Apply the Pareto Principle—80% of results come from 20% of efforts. Identify high-weightage topics and focus on mastering them deeply before spreading yourself thin. Ignoring the power of spaced repetition Many aspirants still stick to the linear study method—learn once and move on. This is a cognitive disaster. Without revisiting content, even the brightest minds forget. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hurt in an Accident? Read This vividtrendlab Undo The Fix: Use spaced repetition through digital tools like Anki or traditional flashcards. Spaced intervals between revisions strengthen memory consolidation and long-term retention—crucial for exams with wide-ranging syllabi. Passive learning syndrome: Reading without engagement Reading NCERTs, coaching modules, or guidebooks passively may feel productive, but this 'illusion of competence' can be deadly. Highlighting text or underlining lines is not learning—it's information grazing. The Fix: Switch to active recall. After reading a topic, close the book and try explaining it aloud or writing it from memory. If you can't teach it, you haven't learned it. Neglecting mock test analytics Solving mock papers has become standard practice, but what follows often isn't. Many students skip in-depth error analysis. They take the test, check the score, and move on. The Fix: Treat every mock like an autopsy. Track error patterns—is it conceptual weakness, silly mistakes, or time mismanagement? Create an 'error logbook' and revisit it regularly. Single source dependency A large number of aspirants cling to one coaching module or book, assuming it's the 'one-size-fits-all' bible. This tunnel vision can leave critical gaps in understanding or perspectives. The Fix: While over-referencing can be chaotic, triangulation is key. Compare at least two trusted sources for every concept, especially in dynamic subjects like polity, economics, or current affairs. Copy-pasting toppers' timetables Blindly adopting a topper's schedule or routine is one of the most common mistakes. What worked for a 2023 JEE Topper in Kota may completely collapse for a working professional preparing for CAT in 2025. The Fix: Build a custom study system aligned with your learning curve, sleep cycle, and mental bandwidth. Templates are only as good as the context they fit into. Skipping mental conditioning Competitive exams are not just academic marathons—they're psychological ones too. Students often underestimate the importance of emotional resilience, leading to burnout, anxiety, or performance paralysis. The Fix: Integrate mindfulness practices, journaling, and short digital detoxes. Don't treat breaks as guilt-ridden gaps; treat them as oxygen masks before a long haul. Rethinking the hustle In the competitive exam ecosystem, the margin between success and failure is razor-thin. When lakhs are vying for limited seats, strategy becomes the true differentiator. By ditching outdated study practices and adopting smarter, evidence-backed techniques, aspirants can finally turn hours of toil into measurable success. Exams don't just test knowledge. They test how you prepare to remember what you know. And in that lies the real battle. Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future. Get expert guidance now!
