JEE Main 2020: Shubh Kumar topped from Bihar in JEE Main with 99.99 percentile. A total of nine students have scored 100 percentile this year




JEE Main 2020: Bihar topper Shubh Kumar started studying for the National Testing Agency (NTA) JEE Main examination from 2018, just after finishing Class 10, but did not let that hamper his school exam preparations. Shubh had scored 97 per cent in Class 10, he faired well in Class 11 with 95 per cent.

“After Class 10, I started preparing for JEE Main 2020, emphasising on entrance examinations more. Of the 12 to 14 hours of my study, six to eight would be spent on JEE Main, another four to six for the board examinations. The balance in my preparation strategy helped me do well,” says the 17-year-old.
