Hi

It is very difficult to predict whether you will be able to qualify NTSE stage 1 examination or not as qualifying cut off marks or not as cut off marks depends upon a number of factors like

*  number of students that appeared in the ntse exam,

*kind of marks obtained by them in ntse examination,

*toughness level of the ntse examination and several other factors.

The ntse jharkhand stage 1 expected  cut off to be eligible for NTSE stage 2 is given below category wise:-

* general :- 130-145 marks

* Scheduled Caste :- 115-125

*Scheduled Tribe :- 87- 98

So , being from obc category with 174 marks  you hold a very good chance to qualify NTSE stage 1
