Congratulating the students, Allen Career Institute CEO Nitin Kukreja said, "Allen believes in excellence, and these results are a testament to our commitment to student success. Allen has delivered exceptional results in both quality and quantity. Allen has achieved excellent results in every bracket—top 50, top 100, offline, and online. Following the results, there was an atmosphere of excitement at all centres, as Allen students from every corner of the country, from rural areas to metropolitan cities, achieved success. In the last two years, every fourth student admitted to IIT has been from Allen. We are proud of our students, faculty, and the Allen team."
He further added that in order to maintain the transparency and authenticity of Allen results, the institute has been getting its students' records validated by EY, the country's leading audit firm, for the last three years.
With this achievement, Allen has now secured the All India Rank 1 in IIT-JEE seven times. Previously, Rajit Gupta in 2025 and Ved Lahoti in 2024 achieved AIR-1 through Allen's Kota Classroom Program. Prior to them, Chitrang Murdia (2014), Aman Bansal (2016), Kartikey Gupta (2019), and Mridul Agarwal (2021) also achieved AIR-1 in IIT-JEE.
