Also, from http://www.hellogiri.com/iit-jee-2008-cutoff-marks-details/ we have the following:
… first paper of IIT JEE 2008 consisted of 69 objective question with 246 marks. Second paper was also of same marks. So the full marks of IIT-JEE 2008 examination was 492. All questions were of objective type with negative marking. The duration of each paper was three hour.
… For OBC quota cutoff will be around 170 marks for rank 4000.
Based on the above and the open-close numbers given at https://www.orissalinks.com/archives/1303 one can see that one can get into an IIT by scoring 45% in the IIT JEE.
