Hello,

To secure admission in to NIT you need to score the minimum qualifying marks specified by NTA. The qualifying cut off marks changes every year. Here is the previous year qualifying cut off percentile for JEE Main

General:90.3765335

OBC-NCL:72.8887969

EWS:70.2435518

SC:50.1760245

ST:39.0696101

PWD:0.0618524

Cut off changes every year depending on number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of exam and number of seats available etc. The expected qualifying percentile is as follows for JEE Main 2021

General: 90-95
OBC-NCL/EWS: 70-75
SC: 50-55
ST: 40-45
PWD: 1-2

Just scoring the qualifying cut off percentile may not fetch you a seat in NIT. You need to score above the cut off marks. If you belong to general category you need to score minimum 97-99 percentile or more. If you belong to OBC-NCL/EWS category you need to score minimum 96-98 percentile or above and if you belong to SC/ST category you need to score above 94 percentile to have decent chances of getting seat in an NIT.
