The cutoff score varies each year and is determined based on various factors such as the difficult level of the exam, the number of applicants, and the availability of seats.

5. Reporting and Document Verification: Once a seat is allotted to you, you must report to the designed reporting center and complete the document verification process. You will need to carry necessary documents, such as JEE Main admit card, rank card, counseling registration form, class 10th and 12th mark sheet, category certificate (if applicable), and other relevant documents.

The breakfast experience at NIT Meghalaya can be a mixed bag, as they attempt to cater to diverse regional preference. Some days, you may find enjoyable options from different parts of India, but on other days, the execution may fall short, leading to disappointment. Lunches on college days are typically lackluster, with the combination of price, curry, and vegetables lacking flavor and variety. The situation doesn't improve when meals are served in the hostel, as the quality remains subpar, failing to meet expectations. For dinner, one can expect an average dining experience, neither exceptional nor particularly satisfying. In summary, the food at NIT Meghalaya is characterized by consistent breakfast, underwhelming college day lunches, impressive hostel meals, and average dinner, making it a topic of concern for students seeking a consistently satisfying dining experience.

If you are from SC or ST category you don't need to pay any tuition fee you just have to pay hostel and mess, and apart from that, you will get government scholarship from various scheme as per my knowledge what my friends are getting is around 60-70 thousand per year so from that only you can pay your college fee. 

If you are from general or OBC category then it depends on your family income, if your family is making less than 2 Lacs you don't have to pay tuition fees but apart from this you can't get any other scholarship. 
If your family income is more that 2 Lacs and less than 6-8 Lacs, I don't know exactly then you have to pay only 1/3 of tuition fee.
