Hello jayashankara

If you want to pursue your engineering in NIT, with full scholarship you have to get AIR under 100 with reserved quota, to get your preferred NIT, but you will get a good amount as fee reimbursement even you have a good score in JEE Mains.

I hope it helps

To get a seat in a good NIT with a good branch you should at least get more than 200 marks as after this only you will get a rank appropriate how to get admission in a very good NIT with very good branch. Taking up bad branch is a very bad decision as it can ruin your future. so study hard and try to score more than 200 marks and get admission in a very good and it with a very good branch.

Hello,
You haven't mentioned your Category.Nevertheless, if you belong to general category scoring 250+ will be helpful to secure a seat in NIT and branch in f your choice.If you belong to OBC category then scoring 200-250 will increase your chances of getting a seat in NIT.For SC/ST if you score above 180 you may have chances to get a seat in NIT.This is to give you an Idea.
