Dear aspirant;

Generally, for a student of any category, the marks greater than or equal to double the cutoffs of his/her particular category are enough to get them into an NIT.

Mind you, I’m talking about any branch in any NIT, not a top NIT or a good branch. For that, you’ll have to work a bit harder than that.

 

Simplifying the answer:

 

GEN ~ 200

 

OBC ~ 160

 

SC ~ 120

 

ST ~ 100

 

If you get greater than these marks, then you are likely to get an NIT.

Thank you.
