Originally from Gurugram, Kabir credited his success to disciplined preparation, conceptual clarity, and the guidance of his teachers, along with strong family support.

“Working hard in the right direction is most important. I focussed on understanding concepts, made short notes, and revised regularly,” Kabir said.

Several other students also secured top ranks in JEE Main 2026: Yashvardhan Kadwasra (AIR 11), from Sri Ganganagar, relied on a mix of self-study and online coaching. Yashvardhan attributed his success to consistent effort and smart preparation.

He is now preparing for JEE Advanced with the aim of securing admission to an IIT. Yashvardhan Kadwasra from Sri Ganganagar has secured the 11th All India Rank in JEE Main 2026.

Yashvardhan attributed his success to dedication and smart preparation.
