NTSE Cutoff 2025 for Stage 1: All States and UTs are expected to release the NTSE 2025 cutoff along with the NTSE result. The cut off mentions the minimum marks a candidate needs to score to qualify the NTS Stage 1 exam. Those who achieve the cutoff score can find their name, roll numbers, and other details on the merit list. Shortlisted candidates will need to appear for NTSE stage 2 exam 2025.
