Hi

Which  category do you belong to?

As you have not mentioned the category you belong to, so I am assuming you from general category

This is 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 etc.

But yes,
When we go through previous year trends then,
NTSE  kerela stage 1, 2021 expected cut off  is provided below for different categories:-

*   General: - 145   -  155 Marks

*   OBC : - 130  -  140 Marks

*   Scheduled Caste: - 105  -  115 Marks

*   Scheduled Tribe: -  85   -  95 Marks

You can check the same at our page, the link is provided below

So,
with 155 to 162 marks in your NTSE stage 1 you have good chances to qualify it and to be eligible for stage 2 as expected cutoff for general category is 145   -  155 Marks.

Your NTSE Kerala stage 1 cut off marks along with result will be declared in last week of February on its official website i. e scert.kerala.gov.in (http://scert.kerala.gov.in)

Thank you

Hello candidate,

From analysing the previous year cutoffs for both stage 1 and stage 2, the approximate cutoff for stage 1 in NTSE is around 145 to 155 marks for 2021 in Kerala.

Last year, the cutoff for stage 2 NTSE in Kerala was 134 marks for the general category. So, depending on this stats, I believe that you have got sufficient marks to qualify the examination, but wait till final results are announced.

Have a good day. For more details please refer to https://www.google.com/amp/s/school.careers360.com/articles/ntse-kerala-cutoff/amp
