No it is not so because the number of students qualify in the exam are more than the number of seats .
So you should keep in mind that only passing marks are not enough you have to secure a good rank for this you have to score good marks atleast 150+ marks .
Depending upon the specific college branch and your category cut off is different and .
Admission is totally based on rank which vary according to exam difficulty level and number of candidates.
You will get seat in NIT if you secure rank under 20-25 thousand.
So good luck

Hi there.

The cut off depends upon the number of seats available, the difficulty level of paper and number of candidates writing the examination. And, hence varies every year depending on these factors. You can get a general idea of cut off by looking at previous year trends. Here is the link for the same:
