Hey there

No if you are not having 75% or in top 20 percentile then you'll not be eligible for admissions into nits it's eligibility criteria for admissions into nits, iiits etc.

Check complete eligibility for admissions into nits

Hello there!

Greetings!

To be eligible for NITs , IITs and GFTIs , it is mandatory that Candidates should have obtained a minimum of 75% marks in class 12 or equivalent exam or they must be in the top 20 percentile in their class 12 examination. For SC/ ST, the eligibility is to obtain a minimum of 65% marks in class 12 or equivalent. So if you fail to fulfil this you will no longer be eligible for NITs etc irrespective of what your percentile score is , even you get 99.9 percentile in jee main but don't fulfil its eligibility criteria then you will not be eligible and thus can not take admission in NITs etc.
thankyou
