Unlike IITs that require both JEE Main and JEE Advanced scores, NIT admission is based on only marks secured in JEE Main. A JEE candidate&#8217;s All India Rank (AIR) and JEE percentile are two most crucial factors that determine your confirmation to secure a seat in NIT. In this article, you will get a detailed breakdown of the safe score in JEE Main 2025 for the National Institute of Technology. The safe score is analysed based on previous year trends, category-wise analysis, branches and campuses that you can target.<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"--tl-form-height-m:73.9323px;--tl-form-height-t:104.939px;--tl-form-height-d:104.939px;\" class=\"tl-placeholder-f-type-shortcode_34708 tl-preload-form\"><span><\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#What_is_a_Safe_Score_in_JEE_Main_2025_for_NIT_Admission\" >What is a Safe Score in JEE Main 2025 for NIT Admission?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#Safe_Score_in_JEE_Main_2025_Based_on_Category_College_Preference\" >Safe Score in JEE Main 2025 (Based on Category &amp; College Preference)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#Other_Factors_Influencing_Admission\" >Other Factors Influencing Admission&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#JEE_Main_Score_vs_Percentile_vs_Rank\" >JEE Main Score vs. Percentile vs. Rank<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#Safe_Score_in_JEE_Main_2025_and_List_of_NITs_Ranked_by_Preference_Tier-wise\" >Safe Score in JEE Main 2025 and List of NITs Ranked by Preference (Tier-wise)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#Branch-Wise_Safe_Score_Insights_General_Category\" >Branch-Wise Safe Score Insights (General Category)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#Tips_to_Secure_a_Safe_Score_in_JEE_Main_2025\" >Tips to Secure a Safe Score in JEE Main 2025<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#When_is_a_Score_NOT_Safe\" >When is a Score NOT Safe?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit\/#Safe_Score_in_JEE_Main_2025_for_NIT_What_You_Need_to_Know_FAQs\" >Safe Score in JEE Main 2025 for NIT: What You Need to Know FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-safe-score-in-jee-main-2025-for-nit-admission\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Safe_Score_in_JEE_Main_2025_for_NIT_Admission\"><\/span><strong>What is a Safe Score in JEE Main 2025 for NIT Admission?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s first understand what a \u201csafe score\u201d means.
