Hello,

Based on previous year cut-offs, for General category you should aim for around 105–115 marks in JEE Main to get a seat in any NIT in any branch.
For top branches like CSE or ECE, try to score 115 marks or more for better chances.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

If you target any branch in NIT through the JEE Mains, you need a good percentile to secure a seat in these institutes. For context, you need a score between 140 and 199 out of 300 marks in this exam to achieve the percentile. Also, with these scores there are other factors like your category, home state and specific branch you are targeting in NIT.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello!

To get admission in any NIT for any branch through JEE Main the marks depend upon your category and number of applicants.

If you belong to general category then 92-95% are required, If you belong to OBC category then 88-90% are required and if you belong to SC/ST category then 70-80% makes are required.  Popular branches like Computer Science and Electronics in top NITs require much higher scores often above 98 percentile while branches like Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology have lower cut-offs.

Hello Aspirant,

To get admission into any NIT for any branch, a safe score in JEE Main is usually above 75-85 marks (General category) depending on the year’s difficulty and cutoff trends. For those with a reserved category, it can be lower. Then for branches like CSE in higher rated NITs you should get 180+ marks.
