As many as 56 candidates, including two females, have scored full scores in the Joint Entrance Examination (Main), or JEE (Main), results of which were released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) late on Wednesday.
The number of students scoring 100 NTA Score has significantly risen from last year’s figure of 43.

The JEE (Main) is a computerised test conducted in two sessions: the first between January 24 and February 1 and the next between April 1 and April 15. In the first Session 23 students scored in the hundredth NTA score.
