Historical cutoffs are a guide, not a prediction. Use them to set a realistic target, not to predict next year's exact number.
NATA gives a qualifying score; college-level cutoffs depend on Class-12 + NATA composite scoring at each institution.
| Year | Category | Cutoff |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | All categories — minimum qualifying | ≥ 70 (35%) |
| 2024 | Top NIT/SPA closing score | 150+ (75%+) |
| 2024 | Government college closing | 120 – 140 typically |
| 2024 | Private college closing | 90 – 120 typically |
