JEE Main 2026 Session 2 examination is ongoing, and students aiming to reserve their seats in NIT Kurukshetra must score equal to or more than the safe score. As per the previous year's records, the safe score for the General category to enter the elite Computer Science branch is approximately 220 to 240 marks (99.3+ percentile). Even for core branches like Mechanical or Civil, students should aim for a minimum of 160 to 180 marks to remain in the safe zone. If the 2026 papers are tougher, the raw marks for these Safe ranks will decrease, while an easier paper will push the required marks upward.
For reserved categories like SC, ST and EWS, the Safe raw marks are typically lower, but the competition within those categories remains high. For instance, an SC candidate aiming for CSE should target a category rank under 1,300, which often requires a percentile in the 96 to 97 range.
