I'm getting 163.27 marks in NTSE MAHARASHTRA and I'm from OBC category.Will I qualify for NTSE stage 2? Please state the difficulty level of paper also,as compared to previous years paper.
Hello Aspirant,
See on such score you can easily qualify NTSE stage 1 but have some chances of being shortlisted for stage 2 because the expected cut-off for shortlisting of candidate for stage 2 from Maharashtra is 163.06 for OBC category.
NTSE Maharashtra expected cut-off for 2021 :-
Category |
Cutoff |
General |
175.75 |
Other Backward Class (OBC) |
163.06 |
Scheduled Caste (SC) |
147.78 |
Scheduled Tribes (ST)
131.97
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, Maharashtra State quota, number of students appeared in the stage 1 exam, last year's NTSE Maharashtra cutoff and so on.
