JEE Mains Results Declared

Jee Mains 2014 examination topper is a student from Andhra Pradesh. Pramod Vakacharla from Sulurapeta in Nellore district scored 355 out of 360 to bag the top spot, a tad higher than the first ranker of last year, again an Andhra student, M Viswa Virinchi who scored 345.

Two people share the second position this year with 350 score, Krishlay Raj from Jharkhand and Mohammad Akram Khan from Andhra Pradesh again. Both the Andhra students, Vakacharla and Khan bagged nearly the same score in their intermediate examination and are aspiring to enroll in computer science engineering at IIT Bombay. Out of the 1.54 lakh candidates who made it the next phase and were declared qualified to take JEE (Advanced), 28,666 of them were girls. JEE (Advanced) is scheduled for May 25 and the registration has already started. The cut-off for the entrance test to the Indian Institutes of Technology is two spots higher this year, at 115 for general category candidates compared to 113 last year. For OBC candidates, it stands at 74, compared to 70 in 2013, at 53 for scheduled caste students and 47 for scheduled tribe candidates. Scores were relaxed by 38.5 per cent for OBC candidates and by 60.18 per cent for scheduled tribes. The CBSE withheld 16 results as the candidates were caught cheating.

JEE Board said in an official notification that they will follow the government of India directive for distribution across categories. OBC-NCL: 27 per cent, SC: 15 per cent, ST: 7.5 per cent and the rest 50.5 per cent will be from the Common Merit List that includes all category candidates. A total of 13.57 lakh students registered for JEE (Main) this year across the country. Nearly 15,500 seats are on offer in 30 NITs, 850 seats in five IIITs and another 15,000 seats in self-financing institutions. The rank scored in the JEE (Main) is valid for two years. It means a candidate who figures in the top 1.5 lakh list of JEE (Main) can take the JEE (Advanced) either this year or next year. Last year, to figure in the top-20 percentile list, the cut-off was the highest for Andhra Pradesh- 91.8 per cent, followed by Tamil Nadu at 90.9 per cent and Kerala at 85.2 per cent.

Candidates who have not made to JEE (Advanced) can still follow their engineering dreams at NITs or self-financing colleges. CBSE will publish a national merit list and state-specific merit lists for the candidates who have a positive score at JEE (Mains) 2014.

The Joint Entrance Examination (Main) results have been officially declared, marking a significant milestone for thousands of aspiring engineering students across India. This year, the exam, which is a crucial step for students seeking admission to prestigious engineering colleges, including the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), and other government-funded technical institutes, was conducted in multiple sessions to ensure a smooth and fair evaluation process. Candidates can now check their results online on the official website of the National Testing Agency (NTA). The results are available in the form of scorecards, which include the percentile scores, raw scores, and the All India Rank (AIR). This year, the competition was intense, with a record number of participants, and the results reflect the hard work and dedication of the students. As the results are out, many students are celebrating their achievements, while others are eagerly waiting to see if they qualify for the next stage, the JEE Advanced. The NTA has also provided a detailed analysis of the results, including the number of candidates who qualified and the distribution of scores, to help students understand their performance and plan their next steps effectively.

JEE Main 2014 delivered notable performances and reinforced existing academic trends, particularly the dominance of Andhra Pradesh in engineering entrance results. Pramod Vakacharla from Sulurapeta, Nellore district, emerged as the national topper with an exceptional score of 355 out of 360. His achievement surpassed last year’s first-rank score and continued the state’s impressive streak, with Mohammad Akram Khan—another student from Andhra Pradesh—securing the second position jointly with Krishlay Raj from Jharkhand, both scoring 350.


Out of the 13.57 lakh students who registered, 1.54 lakh qualified for JEE Advanced, including 28,666 girls. Though female representation remains comparatively low, the numbers indicate slow but steady progress toward gender balance in technical fields. Cut-off marks rose modestly this year, with 115 for General, 74 for OBC, 53 for SC, and 47 for ST categories, signaling a marginal increase in competition. Relaxations remained significant, especially for reserved categories, supporting greater inclusion and diversity in premier institutes.


JEE Main continues to serve as a crucial gateway for engineering aspirants across India. With nearly 31,000 seats available in NITs, IIITs, and self-financing institutions, it plays a pivotal role in shaping the academic future of thousands. The two-year validity of JEE Main scores also offers aspirants more flexibility in scheduling their attempts for JEE Advanced.


State-wise, Andhra Pradesh once again set the bar high in the top-20 percentile eligibility list with a cut-off of 91.8%, followed by Tamil Nadu and Kerala. This reflects the intense competition in certain regions and underscores the strong preparatory systems present in these states.


While the overall execution of the exam was smooth, the CBSE’s withholding of 16 results due to malpractice is a reminder of the need for stronger enforcement of examination integrity. On the positive side, students who did not qualify for JEE Advanced still have viable options, as CBSE will release national and state merit lists for those with a positive score, enabling admission into quality institutions beyond the IITs.


JEE Main 2014 not only identified academic excellence at the national level but also spotlighted regional strength, increasing gender participation, and the continued evolution of India's engineering education framework. It remains one of the most important milestones in the academic journeys of aspiring engineers.
