JEE Advanced 2026 Female Topper

IIT Roorkee publishes the official JEE Advanced result and, in some years, a press note highlighting top performers. If a female-topper detail is officially released, it will appear on jeeadv.ac.in or in an official IIT Roorkee press communication — not on unofficial lists or social media posts, which have repeatedly circulated incorrect names and scores in past years.

Rather than repeating an unverifiable name here, this page focuses on the policy that matters most to most readers: how the IIT supernumerary female seat scheme works, and what CRL rank range has typically been competitive for top IITs through that quota in recent years.

To encourage female enrollment in IITs, the government approved a 20% supernumerary seat scheme for female candidates. These are additional seats created over the regular seat matrix – they do not reduce seats for other candidates.

For example, if IIT Bombay CSE has 118 regular seats, approximately 24 additional supernumerary female seats are added. These seats are allotted exclusively to female candidates through JoSAA counselling. Female candidates can be allotted either a regular seat (competing with all candidates) or a supernumerary seat (female pool) – whichever is more beneficial.

This scheme significantly improves the chances of female candidates getting into their preferred IIT branches, especially at top IITs where general seats are highly competitive.
