Hello,

As you are looking forward for the JEE Main entrance exam which is a good decision because all over India you can get admission in most of the colleges through JEE marks as well as their official NIT’s are also there where you can apply for admission if you score a great rank. Now as you belong to SC category, so surely you will get benefits of it but if you are targeting any top level of colleges or NIT’s than i would suggest you to make your aim high because as we know that SC candidate are also of good numbers and applying rate top colleges are also good so you need to have good rank to compete with them hence your target should be atleast above 120 to 150 marks.

Hello,

Considering the previous cut off for admission in to NITs/IIITs/GFTIs you need to score minimum 95-97 percentile or above in JEE Main for that you need to score minimum 100-130 marks or above in JEE Main.  The cut off for each Institute and branch will be different. Cut off changes every year depending on the total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc.
