Hi,

A general/OBC candidate requires 40% marks and SC/ST candidate requires 32% marks in both -MAT and SAT papers to qualify. 144 seems to be a decent score to qualify the stage 1 of NTSE 2019.

All the best!

As a General category students you should have 40% of 200 marks. You will have to score 40 marks in each- MAT and SAT and overall 80 to qualify. Your score is good enough to qualify, But the selection for the second round depends on Telangana cutoff.

You can check the previous year cutoff with the given below link.

It should be noted that this year cutoff is expected to show much change due to change in the exam pattern.

Good Luck!
