Hello,

You have not clearly specified if you belong to OBC-NCL or OBC-CL. If you belong to OBC-CL then you are considered as general category candidate. According to our JEE Main Rank Predictor Tool you can expect overall rank to be between 21171 - 25321 and category rank between 4675 - 6325 with 120 marks. This analysis is based on previous year data. In 2021 the rank corresponding to the score may change depending on factors like number of candidates appeared, top score in the exam, normalized score etc. In 2020 the cut off in round 6 to get admission in NIT, Patna in Computer Science Engineering was as follows for home state candidate

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to VIT - VITEEE 2026

  • General:15617
  • OBC-NCL:4959

Based on the previous year cut off rank you have chances of getting seat in the preferred NIT if you belong to OBC-NCL but it is difficult to get seat if you belong to OBC-CL as you will be considered as general category candidate. However, cut off changes every year depending on number of candidates qualified, difficulty of exam and number of seats available etc. So you should aim to score minimum 140-150 marks to increase the chance if getting seat in NIT, Patna.

Hello,

The JEE Main cut off depends upon various factors such as number of candidates appeared for the exam, highest marks obtained, question paper difficulty level etc. So, the cut off varies each year. Since, this year a lot of changes have been done in JEE Main, so it is tough to come to any disclosure.

JEE Main 2019 home state cut off for CSE in NIT Patna  for general category candidates was 16347 and in JEE Main 2018 the cut off rank was 29652.

So, with 120 marks your chance is quite low to get CSE in NIT Patna if you are general category candidate. But, if you have any reservation(SC/ST/OBC/EWS) then your chance of getting a seat will increase.

You can check the previous year cut off from the link below
