Allen captures All India top 3 ranks for third time

Hyderabad: Kota-headquartered Allen Career Institute said it had set a record by securing All India Rank (AIR) 1 in JEE Advanced for the third consecutive year on Monday.

A Kota classroom student, Shubham Kumar, secured AIR-1 with 330 out of 360 marks. Kabeer Chhillar secured AIR-2 with 329 marks, while Jatin Chahar secured AIR-3 with 319 marks. With this, the institute has produced AIR-1 in IIT-JEE seven times and repeated AIRs 1, 2 and 3 in a single year for the second time, having earlier achieved the feat in 2016.

Allen said its students secured six AIR ranks in the top 10 and 24 classroom students in the top 50. Aarohi Deshpande emerged as the All India girls’ topper with AIR-77 and 280 marks. Yashvardhan, from the institute’s online live course, secured AIR-52.

In the top 10, classroom students Arnav Gautam (AIR-7), Kanishk Jain (AIR-8) and Darsh Sikka (AIR-10) featured among six rank-holders from the institute. Overall, the institute reported 12 students in the top 20 and 24 in the top 50.

Five of the seven IIT zone toppers — from Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Bhubaneswar and Roorkee — were from the institute’s classroom programmes.

Congratulating the students, Allen Career Institute CEO Nitin Kukreja said, “Allen believes in excellence, and these results are a testament to our commitment to student success. Allen has delivered exceptional results in both quality and quantity. Allen has achieved excellent results in every bracket — top 50, top 100, offline, and online.”

“In the last two years, every fourth student admitted to IIT has been from Allen. We are proud of our students, faculty, and the Allen team.”
