I have scored 175 marks according to the official answer key of Odisha NTSE Stage-1 2021 . Can I qualify for stage-2 ?
Hello Aspirant,
Since you have not mentioned your category so considering it as General or Open category.
See on such score you can easily qualify NTSE stage 1 and also have good chances of being shortlisted for stage 2 because the expected cut-off for shortlisting of candidate for stage 2 from Odisha is 155-165 for General category.
NTSE Odisha expected cut-off for 2021 :-
| Category | Cutoff |
| General | 155-165 |
| OBC | 122-132 |
| SC | 121-131 |
| ST | 113-123 |
| EWS | 81 |
So it shows that you have some chances to be qualified for stage 2 but still we have to wait because the cut-off mentioned above is only the expected cut-off.
Cut off depends upon various factors such as the difficulty level of stage 1 exam, Odisha State quota, number of students appeared in the stage 1 exam, last year's NTSE Odisha cutoff and so on.
