Only 1 MP student scored perfect 100 in JEE Mains in 5 yrs

Bhopal: The entire state of Madhya Pradesh has produced only one student with a 100 percentile score in JEE Main in the past 5 years.
The state's educational ecosystem, despite having numerous coaching institutes, is facing this reality as it has consistently failed to enable top-ranking candidates It was back in 2023, when Keshav Taparia had scored a rare 100 percentile.
Teachers said that primary factors contributing to this situation include the quality of foundational education in schools, teaching methodologies in coaching centres, and the overall academic environment. "Many coaching institutes focus on rote learning rather than developing conceptual understanding and problem-solving abilities essential for JEE," said a teacher, Anurag Singh.
Students in Bhopal often struggle with the intense competition and rigorous preparation required for JEE. "The exam demands exceptional analytical skills, time management, and a deep understanding of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Local coaching centres, while abundant, sometimes lack experienced faculty and proven teaching techniques compared to established institutes in cities like Kota and Delhi," added another teacher, Arun Kumar.
The infrastructure and resources available to students also play a crucial role. Many students face limitations in accessing quality study materials, mock tests, and performance analytics tools. Besides, the absence of a strong peer group attempting JEE can affect motivation and competitive spirit.
Another significant aspect is the gap between school education and JEE requirements. "While schools follow the state board or CBSE curriculum, JEE demands a different approach to problem-solving. Students often find it challenging to bridge this gap effectively," said Mukul Yadav, another teacher.
The state govt needs to step up as it could play a vital role by introducing specialised programmes in govt schools, providing additional resources, and creating centres of excellence for JEE preparation. Implementing regular mock tests and analysis sessions at the state level could help students understand their preparation level and areas of improvement, suggested a teacher without quoting his name.
Parents and students too need to understand that preparation requires a balanced approach. The focus should be on consistent study patterns and concept clarity, rather than just attending multiple coaching classes.
