An NRI candidate must meet the JEE Main 2025 cutoff to secure a seat in NITs. There is no separate cutoff for NRI candidates.
However, also keep in mind that If you have a good Jee mains score- 75%ile (the more the better), you can get a good college in your desired branch under "DASA".
If you can pay the amount in DASA, keep it as a backup and apply for all the Indian embassy schemes.
