| Metric | Data |
| Total 100 Percentilers (India) | 12 |
| Telangana 100 Percentilers | 1 |

Vivan Sharad Mahiswari is the official JEE Main 2026 state topper from Telangana, with a perfect NTA Score of 100.0000000 in Session 1. He is in the one of JEE Main 2026 Topper Lists 12 students nationally who achieved 100 percentile in Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.) and also appears on the General category national topper list released by NTA — placing him at the very top of the country, not just the state.
Achieving 100 percentile in a paper attempted by over 10 lakh candidates requires near-zero errors across all three sections under strict time pressure. Vivan's result makes him a strong JEE Advanced 2026 contender and a benchmark for every Telangana aspirant preparing for JEE Main 2027.
| Rank | Name | Percentile | Category | Estimated National Rank |
| 1 | Vivan Sharad Mahiswari | 100.0000000 | General | Top 12 |
| 2 | Samriddh Bhattacharya | ~99.988 | General | Top 200 |
| 3 | Revanth Vangala | ~99.982 | General | Top 300–400 |
| 4 | Saketh Reddy Bommadi | ~99.932 | General | Top 700–800 |
| 5 | Buneti Adithya Reddy | ~99.918 | General | Top 1,000 |
| 6 | Settipalli Anwitha Reddy | ~99.915 | General | Top 1,000 |
Settipalli Anwitha Reddy is the top female performer from Telangana in JEE Main 2026 Session 1, with approximately 99.915 percentile — placing her within the national top 1,000 candidates. No female student achieved 100 percentile nationally in Session 1, making Anwitha's score representative of the highest female JEE Main performance from the state in this cycle.
| Name | Percentile | Category | Status |
| Settipalli Anwitha Reddy | ~99.915 | General | Top female performer from Telangana, Session 1 |
The marks-to-percentile conversion in JEE Main 2026 follows NTA's normalization formula. Based on Session 1 trends, the expected mapping is:
| Marks (out of 300) | Expected Percentile |
| 290–300 | 99.99 – 100 |
| 260–289 | 99.5 – 99.98 |
| 230–259 | 98.5 – 99.5 |
| 200–229 | 97 – 98.5 |
| 150–199 | 93 – 97 |
| 100–149 | 82 – 93 |
| Metric | JEE Main 2025 (Session 1) | JEE Main 2026 (Session 1) |
| Total 100 Percentilers (India) | ~14–16 | 12 |
| Perfect 300/300 Scorers | 1 | 2 |
| Telangana 100 Percentilers | 1 | 1 |
| Female 100 Percentilers (National) | 0 | 0 |
| Paper Difficulty (assessed) | Moderate | Moderately tough |
Fewer students hit 100 percentile in 2026 compared to 2025, suggesting slightly tighter normalization or a marginally harder paper. However, 2026 produced two perfect 300/300 raw scorers vs one in 2025 — meaning the best-prepared students performed even better this year.
Telangana consistently ranks among India's top 5 states for JEE Main performance. The 2026 data confirms this trend:
| State Performance Metric | 2026 Data |
| 100 Percentile Students | 1 (Vivan Sharad Mahiswari) |
| 99.9+ Percentile Students | Multiple |
| Estimated Top-1000 Students from TS | 5–6 (based on percentile data) |
| Primary Performance Hub | Hyderabad and surrounding districts |
| Category | Top Telangana Performance | Notes |
| General | 100 percentile (Vivan Sharad Mahiswari) | National topper |
| OBC-NCL | 99.9+ percentile range | Category rank to be confirmed post Session 2 |
| SC | High 99+ percentile range | Category rank to be confirmed post Session 2 |
| ST | 99+ percentile range | Category rank to be confirmed post Session 2 |
| Female (all categories) | ~99.915 (Settipalli Anwitha Reddy) | Top female from TS |
The preparation habits shared across Telangana's top 2026 performers follow a clear, repeatable pattern:
| Strategy | What Toppers Did |
| Start date | Class 9–10 for most 99.9+ scorers |
| Mock test frequency | Full-length mocks weekly from Class 11; daily in final 60 days |
| NCERT approach | Memorized completely — especially Inorganic Chemistry |
| Section attempt order | Chemistry → Mathematics → Physics (most common) |
| Error tracking | Dedicated error notebook reviewed daily in final 4 weeks |
| Sleep & health | 7–8 hours sleep maintained throughout; no 18-hour study days |
| Doubt resolution | Infinity Learn's on-demand video library used for targeted concept gaps |
Vivan Sharad Mahiswari's perfect 100 percentile and Telangana's strong 99.9+ percentile cohort in JEE Main 2026 confirm that the state's preparation culture consistently produces national-level performers. The common thread across every top Telangana scorer — early start, daily mock tests, NCERT mastery, error notebooks, and structured coaching through programs like Sri Chaitanya and Infinity Learn — is a replicable system, not a collection of individual outliers.
