According to your query,
If you are from general category or unreserved category then directly I want to say that you need to score more than 90 percentile according to previous years cut-offs fir JEE mains. In 2018 the cutoff was around 74 percentile, in 2019 it is around 89 percentile so according to that every year it is increasing so you need to score well that is around 95-100 marks to get a seat in NIT colleges.
Hope you find it useful.
Thank you.
Dear Subrata, Total seats in NITs are aprox 16500.There is reservation of 7.5% for st (1250 seat), 15% for sc (2500) 27%obc (4500) and left 8250 are unreserved. There are some students who go for drop or take admission in iit, or other private college after perfoming good in jee main.so you need to have less than 25000 rank for general, 7000 obc rank, 4000sc rank, 2500 for st rank, if you want to get good seat in good NIT and good branch.
For general crossponding percentile(if 875000 student took exam) is 97.25
All the best
Hope this helps
Better you score you will get an admission in NITs. The rank below 1k is a secured position for a unreserved category candidates. Try your best to score high as possible. Improve your skills. You can practice from the prescribed books. And from test yourself. Try score as high as possible.
Hope it helps!
