Hello Aspirant,

See to qualify NTSE stage 1 does not confirm your chances of being shortlisted for NTSE stage 2 because there are two cut-off for NTSE stage 1, first one is qualifying cut-off which is 32% i.e. 64 marks out of 200 marks for OBC category for NTSE 2021 but second cut-off is around 150-170 marks for OBC category out of 200 marks which upon clearing assures your shortlisting for stage 2.

You can get idea of shortlisting cut-off for NTSE UP from the cut-offs of 2020 :-

Cut off depends upon various factors such as the difficulty level of stage 1 exam, UP State quota, number of students appeared in the stage 1 exam, last year's NTSE UP cutoff and so on.

You can also check out complete details about the expected cut-offs for NTSE UP 2021 from the link given below :-
