Hi

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  UP stage 1, 2020 cut off  is provided below for different categories:-

* general :-   169 marks
*ews :- 93 marks
* obc ncl:- 148 marks
* Scheduled Caste :- 138 marks
*Scheduled Tribe :-    69  marks

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

So ,

last year for Sc category thecut off marks was 138 in stage 1 to be eligible for stage 2 .Thus  with 120  marks  you hold a little low  chance to qualify NTSE stage 1 to be eligible for NTSE 2nd stage but still be optimistic for now .

If you have any other doubt then you can always reach us to clear them :) we are always available to help you out and guide you

Thank you

The expected cutoff  for Uttarpradesh is 166-171. Which is UR estimate. So you may or may not have the possibility for stage 2. But you should wait for the release of the official cutoff.
