Hi, We cannot say anyhting about cutoff of NTSE 2019 due to the changes in the exam pattern introduced this year. It usually shows an increasing trend. 170 seems to be a good score to qualify for the stage 2 of NTSE 2019.

NTSE Qualifying cutoff 2019 for General and OBC Category is 40% and SC/ST category is 32% in both SAT and MAT.
Your scores are good enough to qualify the first stage but selection for the second stage of NTSE 2019 will vary state wise.

It should be noted that this year cutoff is expected to show much change due to change in the exam pattern.

Good Luck!

Ntse stage cutoff depends on which state have you appeared from and your respective category .

However 170 is good enough score to clear in reserved categories specifically but for General category its moderate.

So share us your details so we can guide you accordingly.
