Hi

Your profile suggests that you are from Delhi

Whether 75 percentile is a good score or not depends upon your goal.

For example,

If your goal is to clear JEE main qualifying cutoff in order to be eligible for JEE advanced then yes 75 percentile is a decent score being from OBC category.

For reference,

JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced is given below for different categories on the basis of past year trends :

.                  .  JEE      MAIN CUT   OFF    PERCENTILE

Category jeemain2020 jeemain2021 expected off

General :-     90.3765335                 90-95

GEN-EWS :-  70.2435518                  70 -75

OBC-NCL :-  72.8887969                   70 -75

But,

if your goal is to get into good government colleges like NITs, then no 75 percentile is not good score.  To get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 95 percentile being from OBC.
