Hello,

To appear for JEE Main you must score the minimum cut off percentile specified by NTA. Last year the cut off percentile was as follows

• General: 90.3765335
• EWS: 70.2435518
• OBC-NCL: 72.8887969
• SC: 50.1760245
• ST: 39.0696101
• PWD: 0.0618524

In 2021 the cut off percentile is expected to be as follows

• General 90-95
• EWS/OBC-NCL: 70-75
• SC: 50-55
• ST: 40-45
• PWD:1-2

With 170 marks your percentile score is expected to be in between 98.35 - 99.41. You haven't mentioned the category you belong to. Assuming that you belong to general category you have decent chances to qualify in JEE Main and appear for JEE Advanced. Cut off depends on the total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. It may increase or decrease depending on these factors.
