Hello there,

The cut-off marks for the NMMS (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship) exam can vary each year depending on factors like the difficulty of the exam , the number of candidates , and the category . For candidates from the BC-A category , the cut-off marks will be slightly lower than the general category.

To determine if you will qualify for the scholarship with 115 marks in total, you'll need to consider the following:

1. Minimum Qualifying Marks : You must achieve a certain minimum score in each paper (usually Mathematics and Mental Ability ).
   
   
2. Overall Cut-off : This is determined based on the total marks in both papers, and it can vary each year.

For BC-A category , 115 marks could be competitive, but it's important to check the official NMMS cut-off of the year you appeared for the exam. If your marks exceed the previous year's cut-off, there are good chances of getting the scholarship.

To be certain, you can look up the official NMMS result and cut-off for your specific year or reach out to the exam conducting body for confirmation.
