The JEE Mains 2025 Session 2 results, declared by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on April 19, brought proud moments for many, but two Delhi students stood out. Harsh Jha and Daksh Arora scored 100 percentile in Paper 1 (BE/BTech) and are now setting their sights on IIT Delhi for a BTech degree.

17-year-old Daksh Arora, a resident of Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi, began preparing for JEE right from Class 10. His serious preparation began in Class 11 after joining a coaching institute. Managing school, coaching, and self-study wasn’t easy, but time management became his strongest skill.

• On regular days, Daksh stuck to a strict schedule.
• During holidays, he studied for up to 10 hours a day.
• His father is a businessman and his mother a homemaker.

Daksh enjoys mathematics and computer science, and in his downtime, he unwinds with music and books. He is now focused on JEE Advanced and is determined to secure a seat in IIT Delhi.

Harsh Jha, originally from Gumla, Jharkhand, moved to Delhi two years ago with a clear vision. His father is a teacher, his mother a housewife, and he has a younger brother—all of whom live back in their village.

• Harsh combined coaching with 4–6 hours of daily self-study in the early phase of his preparation.
• His natural strength lies in mathematics and physics, and he enjoys solving complex problems.

Apart from studies, Harsh finds comfort in talking to family and friends or watching films. Like Daksh, Harsh also dreams of pursuing BTech from IIT Delhi and is now preparing intensely for the JEE Advanced 2025 exam.
