How much minimum score is required in JEE Mains in order to to get admission in NITs ?
Hi
I am assuming that you belong to general category
This is a bit difficult to predict the marks/percentile/rank required in JEE mains as closing rank keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the jee main examination , number of seats available for the branch you want etc.
But yes,
When we go through previous year trend then ,
Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 for general category :-
-
National Institute of Technology Sikkim, Civil Engineering :- 47412
-
National Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering :- 47207
-
National Institute of Technology, Mizoram, Civil Engineering:- 49757
-
National Institute of Technology Agartala, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering :- 50,010
You can check the same at
https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx
From above, it is clear that you need at least a rank of around 45,000 - 50,000 to get into an NIT under other state quota. And to get a rank in this range, you need at atleast around 96 percentile i. e around 110 marks at least as per our rank predictor at
