if i will got 159 marks in ntse stage 1 Jharkhand will i qualify for stage 2 if I am general

Going by last year's cutoffs, it is expected that the cutoff for NTSE stage 1 Jharkhand will be around 130 to 145 for general category and 115 to 125 for SC category candidates and 87 to 98 for ST Candidates. But these are expected cutoffs of Jharkhand NTSE stage 1 where the qualifying Marks in MAT is at least 40 and same for SAT also for general category. The qualifying score for SC/ST/PwD candidates are 32 Marks in each of the two sections I.e. MAT and SAT. Now 159 out of 200 is pretty good score and greater than the expected cutoff too. So you hold a good chance of qualifying the exam and should start preparing for the stage 2. Check out this link http://school.careers360.com/articles/ntse-jharkhand-cutoff
