You haven't mentioned your home state, but generally, you'll get a good NIT *easily* if you score anything above 170 due to your category. To be on the safe side, let's say 180+ is something you should be looking at.

Hello Achsah Vejendla. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.

 

I feel that I have outlined and elaborated in detail in the question before this about the required cutoff marks for gaining a seat in either B.Tech Mechanical or B.Tech Electrical in NIT Trichy / Warangal.

 

Every time, you seem to be adding new information. For the links I had mentioned previously, please check the corresponding cutoff marks for yourself using this JEE Mains marks vs ranks article of ours:

Hope this helps you and if not, please comment below my answer rather than embarrassing me.

Hello Achsah,

The previous year cut off of JEE mains for SC category was 32 so with a score above 120 you'll get an NIT. In order get top NITs you must have a rank under 10-15k also the rank and cut off depends upon the dificulty level of the paper For Mechanical the cut offs are mostly 190+ and for electrical it is 185+. You can predict the colleges coming your rank by the JEE main college predictor of Career 360.
