From mains to advanced, Vadodara students keep ranks rolling
Vadodara: The city’s IIT ambitions received a major boost on Monday as JEE (Advanced) 2026 results placed several city students among top national rankers, underlining the city’s steady climb in India’s toughest engineering entrance test.
Dev Prajapati emerged as the city topper with an all-India rank (AIR) of 174 and a rank of 26 in the OBC category. Pranshu Gupta followed with AIR 274, while Vedant Deshmane secured AIR 626 to claim the third spot in Vadodara.
Among other top performers, Jainam Shah secured AIR 926 and Aishwar Shandilya achieved AIR 1,381. He was followed by Manav Gujjar (AIR 1,416), Hrishabh Verma (AIR 1,544) and Supriya Verma (AIR 1,559), the city’s highest-ranked girl candidate.
Other students who secured notable ranks included Saumya Trivedi (AIR 1,704), Rohan Patel (AIR 1,867), Raj Aayush (AIR 1,915) and Aditya Bhattacharya (AIR 1,999).
The strong showing builds on an equally impressive performance in JEE (Main) 2026 Sessions 1 and 2, where at least 46 candidates from the city ranked above the 99th percentile.
Many of the top scorers in JEE (Advanced) had also excelled in JEE (Main), with several appearing in the second session to improve scores and enhance their chances of securing higher ranks.
