Dear aspirant,

The minimum percentile as per the previous year for obc category was 68 percentile but let me tell you that various factors are considered while deciding the cut offs like number of candidates appearing in the examination, number of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs and difficulty level of the paper.

But if you want to secure your position in nits like Jamshedpur, durgapur, Silchar, allahabad, rourkela, Calicut then you need to achieve a percentile of atleast 90-93 to be on a safer side.
