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 :
NIT Calicut :
Note : The above mentioned cutoffs are 2018 cutoff for the respective NITs for general category candidates.
You can visit the below mentioned links and check the previous years cutoff for both the NITs and for all the categories -

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!!
