No you can't get admission in IIT for btech because you are not fulfilling basic eligibilitiy criteria .

Performance in 10+2th Standard (or equivalent) Board Examination:

The candidates will have to satisfy at least one of the following two criteria for admission to IITs:

  • The candidate should have passed 10+2 or equivalent examination with an aggregate of at least 75% marks. For SC/ ST and PwD candidates, there is a relaxation of 10% as they need the aggregate of minimum 65% marks.

  • The candidates should be within the category wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective 12th standard (or equivalent) board examination.

Hi himanshu..,
Sorry to say you that you will not be eligible for getting admission in iit/nit because you don't satisfy the eligibility criteria to get admission.,
Independent of your jee score, you have to get above 75% in12th class to get admission in iit/nit.
Thank you
