Anay Jain is a student from Faridabad, Haryana, known for achieving 100 NTA percentile in JEE Main 2026 Session 1. The National Testing Agency named him among 12 candidates with that score in Paper 1, for B.E. and B.Tech. courses. His public profile centres on this examination result and his accounts of preparing for engineering entrance examinations.

The result entries are documented in NTA’s 16 February notice and 20 April overall result notice. The education and personal study details below come from attributed profiles and interviews.
Education and coaching
Hindustan Times identified his school as DAV Public School, Faridabad, in February 2026.
ALLEN’s January-session profile described him as a Class 12 classroom student for the preceding year, and reported 98.6 per cent in Class 10.
His account of preparation
In a Careers360 interview updated on 18 February 2026, Anay reported scoring 291 out of 300 in the January session.
He credited teacher guidance, regular testing and self-study. He used previous years’ papers, ALLEN materials and NCERT books for physics and chemistry, revised topics in depth and asked teachers to clarify doubts.
JEE Advanced was his main examination target. The ALLEN profile also records interests in running, football and tennis.
What the JEE Main results establish
NTA’s February notice confirms his January-session 100 percentile and lists Haryana as his state of eligibility. NTA defines that state by where a candidate passed or appeared for Class 12; it does not necessarily identify a birthplace.
The April overall notice again includes Anay among candidates with a 100 NTA percentile. His inclusion does not, on its own, establish a separate April-attempt score or show that he achieved 100 percentile in both attempts.
The lists are arranged by application number. Anay’s serial positions—seventh in the February list and fifteenth in the April list—therefore should not be presented as AIR 7 or AIR 15. Neither position is evidence of AIR 1. An individual rank requires separate supporting evidence.
NTA also explains that percentile reflects relative performance among candidates in the same examination shift. It is different from the percentage of raw marks obtained. This is why the reported 291 out of 300 and the official 100 percentile describe different measures of the same January performance.
Academic interests and stated plans
In February, Anay told Careers360 that he wanted to study Computer Science at IIT Delhi. An EdexLive report dated 17 February 2026 also recorded his interest in artificial-intelligence research.
Those statements describe his aspirations during the examination cycle. The sources cited here do not confirm his eventual university admission, final individual JEE Main rank or JEE Advanced result. This profile leaves those outcomes unconfirmed and does not infer a career, scholarship or income from his examination score.
