Arohi Deshpande from the IIT Delhi zone topped among girls in JEE Advanced 2026, securing CRL rank 77 with 280/360 marks. Speaking to FPJ after results, the 17-year-old said she was not as satisfied because she wished more girls had ranked ahead of her. She now wants IIT Bombay Computer Science, with IIT Madras as her clear backup.
While thousands of JEE aspirants across the country celebrated their JEE Advanced 2026 results on Sunday, 17-year-old Arohi Deshpande had a rather unexpected reaction to her achievement. The student from the IIT Delhi zone emerged as the all-India topper among girls, securing a Common Rank List (CRL) rank of 77 with an impressive score of 280 out of 360 marks. Yet, instead of dwelling on the milestone, she reflected on what she felt was missing.
“I’m not as satisfied with it as I should be,” Arohi said to FPJ. “I would have been happier if there were more girls before me.”
Her remark offers a glimpse into the mindset that helped her reach the top, one that is focused less on accolades and more on raising the bar.
