JEE 2020 Core Test 2 Result: With a 99.99 percentile, the girl Noida Nikita Tripathi obtained the rank of All India (AIR 10) in the main document 2 of JEE, (B Arch), whose result was published on September 18. Nikita’s rank slipped from the January session, where he scored AIR 6 with 99.994 percentile. The reason behind the drop in marks, according to Nikita, was due to inappropriate drawing. However, she found the job relatively easier than that of the January session.
Nikita is now focusing on JEE Advanced which will take place on September 27 to secure a seat at IIT Kharagpur or Roorkee, the two main institutes offering architecture courses. “Although I scored above the 98th percentile in JEE Core Document 1 (BE / B Tech) and I can opt for engineering, my interest lies in studying architecture.”

For main and advanced JEE preparation, Nikita relies on FIITJEE NCERT books, study materials and classes. However, for the B Arch entry, only the institute study material followed, as NCERT books are not sufficient for the architecture entry test. To draw, trust your own studies.

After completing her graduation, the topper plans to launch her startup. “I have decided to launch my own startup as there are fewer opportunities in this field.
