Hi Jagadeesh, the cutoff varies every year based on various factors, number of seats available, number of test takers, difficulty level of exams, merit list etc. However to go with the past records, an AIR of 10000-14000 can get a seat in JNTU Hyderabad for thermal engineering, with a score of around 400-500 out of 1000 scaled score. You should have a score of around 30+ i believe to score this scaled score and rank as cutoff.
