Hey Aspirant! So, for getting good IIT Institute via Jee Advanced your score must be around 200 or 210. And the minimum marks around 150-160 (General) to get any branch in any IIT Institute because there are only around 11,000 seats are available in all the IITs. With only 16 marks, its impossible to get into IIT. Unless you have pwd quota you won't get into IIT. There is a pre decided cutoff of total 35% marks for general candidates to get into merit list. And you even need as high as 45% marks to get a seat.  As per the new changes and relaxation introduced in eligibility of JEE Advanced 2021, students will not be required to fullfill minimum eligibility marks of 75% (65% for ST/ SC) in 12th level to get admission in IIT. Students passing 12th level & JEE Main will be eligible for JEE Advanced. The candidates must have secured at least 75% marks or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th Class Examination conducted by respective boards. For SC/ST students, there shall be a relaxation of 5% in this criterion. To be eligible for JEE Advanced 2022, candidates must qualify JEE Main 2022 (Paper 1) and rank among the top 2,50,000 (including all categories) candidates in B.E./B. Tech. Candidates who secure a rank in JEE Advanced 2021 exam will be eligible to participate in the Joint Seat Allocation process for seats in IITs. Candidates seeking admission into IITs will have to complete the JoSAA 2021 registration and choice filling process by submitting their preferred courses and institutes.
