Hi

This is a bit difficult to predict the marks required in JEE mains to get a seat in nit allahabad as cut off  keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the jee main examination , number of seats available for the branch you want etc.

When we go through previous year trend then ,
In round 6 of josaa counselling 2020 , for obc category  to get civil engineering in  ,6839   was closing obc rank  under home state quota in mnit allahabad

You can check the same at
https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

And 6839 obc rank is around 115 marks

So, to be on the safer side try to get at least 120 marks in your jee main 2021

Now,
limited time is left for jee mains 2021 , so focus on your preparation, to prepare well your jee examination, go through chapters first and your focus should be on grasping concepts , practising questions and then revising them, go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.

Hello,

You have not mentioned if you belong to OBC-NCL or OBC-CL category. If you come under Creamy Layer then you are considered as general category candidate. In 2020 round 6 the cut off was as follows for admission in to Civil Engineering in Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad  under home state category

  • General: 22404
  • OBC-NCL: 6839

If you come under OBC-CL then you need to score minimum 190-220 marks and if you belong to OBC-NCL you need to score minimum 170-190 marks in JEE Main to have decent chances of getting seat in the preferred institute and branch as per the previous year cut off. However, cut off is subjected to change, it may increase or decrease depending on number of candidates qualified, difficulty of exam and number of seats available etc.
