Dear candidate;
To get into an NIT (any branch) try to get atleast 140+ in JEE Mains. But if you want to get CS/IT or any other core engineering branch then the cutoff are as follows :-
CS/IT : 195+
MECH : 190+
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS : 185+
CIVIL : 168+
Any other non core branch (Chemical/Metallurgy/Production etc.) : 145+
Non engineering branches (Physics/Chemistry/Maths etc.) : 140+
Kindly note: The cutoff mentioned above are just to get an NIT, but to get a Top NIT, try to get atleast 235+
Best of Luck.
Cutoff mark cannot be predicted exactly because it depends upon various factors.
You should score more than 220 in JEE Mains paper-2, to get a seat in NIT.
All the very best and good luck.
