Hello,

With such score the percentile will be around 99 which is a decent percentile and you will have good chances of getting seat in a top NIT. This year the minimum percentage requirement is scrapped off to get admission in NIT and IIT. You need to pass 10+2 with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry from a recognized board. You need to obtain a passing certificate to get admission, other wise you cannot get admission even if you have decent percentile. You need to appear in supplementary exam or apply for re-evaluation and obtain your result by the time counselling starts.

For now you are not eligible to get admission in NIT. But the exam is yet to be conducted and your re-evaluation results are awaited so we cannot say if you have a chance or not because it depends. If you obtain minimum passing marks then you are eligible to get admission in NIT provided you must qualify JEE Main. If there is not increase in marks then you are not eligible to get admission in NIT.
