Happiness knew no bounds for the family of Bhavya Tiwari from Noida, who secured the all-India rank (AIR) of 19 in the Joint Entrance Exam (Advanced)-2024. While he obtained 323 out of the total 360 marks in the exam, he scored 99.99 percentile in the qualifying JEE-Main.
“After writing JEE Advanced, I was quite sure that I would be in the top 20 in the country. I am happy. I want to pursue computer science from IIT Bombay which has been my childhood dream,” said Bhavya, who passed class 12 at Apeejay School in Noida.
Bhavya said he firmly believed that one can simultaneously prepare for the class 12 board exam and the JEE exams. His advice for those preparing for JEE is not to limit themselves to NCERT books, but also to take mock tests. “If a candidate stays focused, he can then clear the boards and JEE-Advanced together,” he said.

“My school was emotionally and logistically supportive of me. Unlike other schools in the NCR, practical sessions were performed every week and teachers took time to correct the mistakes of students. That helped a lot,” he said.
Bhavya, who lives with his parents and younger brother in Noida, plays lawn tennis and cricket and idolizes Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. His mother Bimla Tiwari is a housewife and his father Ashok Tiwari is a businessman.
