Hello Ajay!!

You have asked for the seat in NIT college, so first of all know this thing that NITs are taken on the basis of your JEE Mains marks.

If you will ask for the good NITs, then you should have to first qualify the eligibility criteria which is 75% + marks in your 12th Boards Exam.

Then in JEE Mains, you have now two attempts in January and April so result will be considered on the basis of best among two.

So, for getting good rank you have to score 160+ to get good NIT seat through JEE Mains.

JEE Advance Exam is being conducted for getting admissions in IITs, where only 250000 students get qualified after Mains exam.

I am providing you the link through which you can get to know the ranks on the basis of marks in JEE Mains, it will help you in preparation:

Hope that my answer helped you!!

Good Luck and Best Wishes for the Future!!


Thank You
