Is 150 Marks Good in JEE Main 2026?

150 marks puts you in the top 1.02% of all candidates — an excellent performance. With ~15.5 lakh students appearing in 2026, only about 1.57 lakh students score 150 or above. More importantly, 98.98 percentile comfortably clears the JEE Advanced General cutoff of 93.10 percentile, meaning you can attempt IIT admission through JEE Advanced if you prepare well. For NIT admission alone, 150 marks is strong enough for prestigious branches at top-10 NITs.

The key distinction at 150 marks: you're in NIT Trichy/Warangal non-CSE territory. CSE at these premier NITs typically closes around AIR 5,000–8,000 (General OS). However, Electrical, Mechanical, Production, and Chemical branches at these NITs close between AIR 10,000–18,000 — squarely in your range. If you're aiming for NIT CSE, pushing to 180+ marks will significantly expand options.
