Hello Rishav, The maximum marks would be 360 as per the last paper. Thus, 160 is just below 50 percent. It matters a lot as to how many other students have scored more than you.

It will be difficult to get NIT-Patna at this score. Generally, 190-200+ is a good score to get into NITs. A score around 220-230 is a safe score to get into any NIT.
