Hello Subrata,

Well  there is nothing as minimum score for JEE Main. Every individual has their own cutoff as per their category. If one has cleared his/her required cutoff then they are eligible to get a seat into NITs through JoSAA counselling. If they didn't get a seat through JoSAA but are JEE main qualified, then they can apply for CSAB counselling to get a seat into NITs,IIITs,GFTIs,SFTIs. Below I have provided the previous yers cutoff of both the above mentioned colleges - 

NIT Durgapur : 

  • Bio-Technology - 42733 (Home State) / 39453 (Other State)
  • Chemical - 30173 (Home State)/ 26425 (Other State)
  • Civil - 35772 (Home State)/ 23678 (Other State)
  • CSE - 15553 (Home State)/ 8516 (Other State)
  • Electrical - 22263 (Home State)/ 15743 (Other State)
  • Electronics & Communication - 19524 (Home State)/ 12249 (Other State)
  • Mechanical - 25931 (Home State)/ 17444 (Other State)
  • Metallurgy - 38464 (Home State)/ 33477 (Other State)

NIT Calicut : 

  • Bio-Technology - 29217 (Home State)/ 29514 (Other State)
  • Chemical - 22241 (Home State)/ 22020 (Other State)
  • Civil - 23233 (Home State)/ 20536 (Other State)
  • CSE - 8439 (Home State)/ 4822 (Other State)
  • Electrical & Electronics - 16158 (Home State)/ 11316 (Other State)
  • Electronics & Communication - 13365 (Home State)/ 8022 (Other State)
  • Mechanical - 15501 (Home State)/ 12032 (Other State)
  • Engineering Physics - 18783 (Home State)/ 14913 (Other State)
  • Production - 26156 (Home State)/ 25276 (Other State)

Hello Subrata

If you want CSE or IT as you have asked in the previous question you score must be around 230 for NIT Durgapur and a rank around 5k to 6k for NIT Calicut.

If you want any other branch then you can get Civil in Durgapur with 200 marks.

All the best!!
