I think you are in and will quality because I have also got 175/200 and according to reasonance experts the expected cutoff range is between 155-160

Cutoff in General category has hovered between 59 marks to 113marks in past 3years and hence anything above 150 as well has greater chances of getting to NTSE stage2 Maharashtra.

179marks looks pretty good and high chances expected.
