JEE Advanced 2026 Zone Wise Toppers

JEE Advanced divides India into 7 IIT zones, each overseen by an IIT. For JEE Advanced 2026, IIT Roorkee is the conducting institute. Each zone publishes a zone-specific rank list showing zone toppers separately from the All India Rank (AIR) list.

Zone ranks are determined by the same scoring system as AIR but limited to candidates who registered under that particular IIT zone. Zone toppers are recognized in official communications but for seat allotment, only the CRL (Common Rank List) AIR matters.

The overall AIR 1 in JEE Advanced 2026 is automatically the topper of whichever IIT zone they registered in. Likewise, AIR 2 and AIR 3 are the zone toppers for their respective zones. The confirmed names and marks of AIR 1, AIR 2 and AIR 3 are published officially by IIT Roorkee — we do not list unverified names here.

The female topper (by CRL rank) is also the female zone topper for her registered zone. The official zone-wise topper list with names and marks is published by IIT Roorkee on jeeadv.ac.in — please treat any name or score you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it matches that official release.

Historically, IIT Delhi zone and IIT Bombay zone produce many top-50 rankers, while IIT Madras zone sees strong representation from South Indian coaching institutes like Sri Chaitanya and Narayana. IIT Kanpur zone benefits from Rajasthan/Kota coaching institutes feeding UP candidates.
