Hello,

The marks required in an entrance exam for the general category vary depending on the exam, year, and college. Generally, for competitive exams like JEE Main, a high score often above 90–95 percentile is needed to get admission into top government or NIT colleges. For state-level or private colleges, the required marks can be lower, but still, a strong performance in the entrance exam and good board marks is important to secure admission.

The exact marks fluctuate each year, but scoring in the top percentile is key for general category candidates.
