Hi

Your profile suggests that you are from Tamilnadu so I am guessing that it is regarding NTSE Tamil Nadu

Which  category do you belong to?

I am assuming it to be general

This is difficult to predict whether you will be able to qualify NTSE stage 1 examination or not as qualifying cut off marks or not as cut off marks depends upon a number of factors like

*  number of students that appeared in the ntse exam,

*kind of marks obtained by them in ntse examination,

*toughness level of the ntse examination etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trends then,

The ntse  2021  Tamilnadu expected stage 1 cut off to be eligible for NTSE stage 2 is given below category wise:-

You can check the same at

So, with 80 marks, you have low chance to qualify stage 1 to be eligible for stage 2 examination of NTSE.

Tamil Nadu  stage 1 result will be declared on its official website i. e dge.tn.gov.in

Thank you
