Hello Student,

The cutoff for SCs was 54.01 percentile. Having cleared the cut off you are eligible for NITs and the JEE Advanced exam. The competition keeps increasing with every day. That means the score needed to get into the top government colleges such as the National Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Technology.

However, being from the SC category, it can be advantageous for you. While the top courses in the top NITs may be taken, newer NITs such as NIT Andhra Pradesh, NIT Pondicherry etc. Also, some courses that are lesser in demand such as metallurgy would be better options to get into better ranked government colleges such as NIT Calicut.
