Hyderabad, May 26: More girls qualified than boys in the IIT- JEE results which were announced on Wednesday. From last year’s 1,048, the number of girls qualifying rose to 1,476 this year. Ms Meghana Katta of Hyderabad secured fifth rank in the reserved quota.
The slashing of application fee by half for girls has shown a positive impact for girls since 2006. This year, for the first time in the history of IIT-JEE, the number of girls appearing for the exam crossed the 1-lakh mark.
Of the 1,13,127 girls who took the exam, 1,476 qualified. Ms Aakanksha Tushar Sarda topped among girls with an all-India rank of 18 in the open category. In 2008, only 840 girls had cleared the test.
