Amiteshwar Singh, a student of PhysicsWallah (PW) and resident of Jammu, has secured the highest score in Jammu and Kashmir in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 Session 1.

Amiteshwar achieved an overall score of 99.83 percentile, with a notable 99.48 in Physics, 99.72 in Chemistry, and 99.76 in Mathematics. The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the results for Session 1 on February 16, 2026, for the examination conducted across 658 centres including 15 centres globally. Amiteshwar, who prepared through PW Vidyapeeth, was enrolled in the 2-year classroom programme. He credited his success to the structured curriculum, accessibility, and consistent faculty support extended to him during his preparation.

Amiteshwar Singh from Jammu and Kashmir, who secured the first position in the state, said, “JEE preparation seemed challenging at first, but regular learning and practice helped me to stay focused throughout my preparation journey. Access to digital resources helped me with easy revisions and references, while having teachers around to guide clear my doubts made a big difference in building conceptual clarity.

I am thankful to my parents and teachers at PW Vidyapeeth for their constant support. I am now concentrating on revision and mock tests for the upcoming JEE (Advanced) Examination.”

Amiteshwar’s achievement is a reflection of PhysicsWallah(PW)’s ongoing efforts to make competitive exam preparation accessible to students across different geographies.
