Hi

It is very difficult to predict whether you will be able to qualify NTSE stage 1 examination or not as qualifying cut off marks or not as cut off marks depends upon a number of factors like

* number of students that appeared in the ntse exam,

*kind of marks obtained by them in ntse examination,

*toughness level of the ntse examination and several other factors.

But yes,
When we go through previous year trends then,
The ntse 2021 jharkhand stage 1 expected cut off to be eligible for NTSE stage 2 is given below category wise:-

* general :- 130 - 145 marks

* Scheduled Caste :- 115 - 125

*Scheduled Tribe :- 87 - 98

So , with 166 marks you hold a very good chance to qualify NTSE stage 1 to be eligible for NTSE 2nd stage as expected cutoff for general category is 130 to 145 marks
