JEE Advanced 2026 AIR 2 Kabir Chhillar, who scored 329/360 and missed AIR 1 by one mark, said confidence and hard work mattered more than rank. The IIT Delhi zone topper revealed he relied on teachers, not AI tools, during preparation.
Kabir Chhillar, who scored 329 out of 360 and missed AIR 1 by one mark, has become one of the most talked-about names in the country after the JEE Advanced 2026 results.
From the IIT Delhi zone, Chhillar secured AIR 2 in JEE Advanced 2026 after scoring 100 percentile in JEE Main 2026. The Allen Career Institute topper now aims to pursue Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and dreams of studying further at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Speaking to The Free Press Journal after securing All India Rank 2 in one of India’s toughest engineering entrance examinations, Chhillar opened up about his preparation strategy, stress management, confidence issues and what mattered more to him than the rank itself.
At a time when AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and NotebookLM have become a part of many students’ preparation journeys, Chhillar said he relied on hard work, confidence and teachers, not artificial intelligence.
