JEE Main 2026 saw five female toppers, but none scored a perfect 100 percentile. The highest female percentile was close to 100, reflecting strong performance. All 100 percentile scorers in the exam were male candidates this year.
The JEE Main 2026 result analysis has highlighted a notable trend in female performance. While several female candidates achieved top ranks, none secured a perfect 100 percentile in the exam. This reflects both strong participation and a gap at the highest score level.

The National Testing Agency released gender-wise performance data along with results. Five female candidates emerged as toppers in their category.
- Highest female percentile: 99.998+ (approx.)
