Can I get a seat in NITs if I get minimum qualifying marks in JEE Mains? I belong to ST category.

I've got around 30-35 marks in Mains and 85% in board exams.

Just by getting qualifying marks, it isn't possible to get into NITs. Your score should be greater than 180 to have a go at NIT. But since you are of ST category, it might fall down till 100 but not less than that.

Thank you for your kind information.

It depends on the how many marks you scored and type of branch as for every branch the ranking is different.
