Among the 17 toppers from Delhi is, Mridul Manya Anand and UP’s Ayush Naugraiya from EWS category. There is another candidate from Delhi with 720 score, and four toppers with highest marks from Rajasthan.
This was a huge relief for other examinees with marginal difference in ranks. Along with the decrease in the number of highest score holders, in the revise result, the number of qualified candidates and qualifying cutoffs have also been released. The renewed result was declared on Friday following an order from the Supreme Court after counting the marks of a question from Physics, as there were 2 accurate answers.
Other than 17 perfect score of 720, there were 6 students with 716, and 77 with 715 score, which creates the group of 100 candidates at the top level.
The revision results also brought the cut offs, for the economically weaker and unreserved section the new cut off is 720-162, for OBC/SC/ST it’s 161 to 127.

The list of toppers includes four students from Rajasthan, two each from Delhi and UP, three from Maharashtra, and one each from Kerala, Chandigarh, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Bihar and West Bengal.
44 out of 67 candidates who were declared toppers previously, had the full marks because of that one Physics question. The number of toppers later came down to 61 as NTA withdrew grace marks given to 6 students to cover for the loss of time in the exam centers.
The total numbers of candidates decreased by 415 to 13,15,853. There are total fifteen states and UTs which registered a greater number of qualified students, comprising West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Gujarat, and Goa.
