Dear candidate
First of all let me clear your doubt that it is percentile and not percentage.
Percentile is the percentage of candiate who have got less marks than you for example if you have got 60 percentile then 60% of JEE mains candidate have got lesser score then you. While your percentage is your marks aggregate divided by total marks X hundred.
Its difficult to predict actual rank or JEE advanced qualify marks. you may calculate your expected rank by this formula

100 - your total percentile score is the percentage  of people ahead of you. 869010 are the number of candidates appeared for Jan exam. So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 869010 /100. If the number of candidates for April exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 1200000/100

Its difficult to tell exact qualifying marks for jee advanced eligibility but if you are getting more than 85 percentile score then you have decent chances to qualify for jee advanced
Now let's come to your question so unfortunately that is no you will not get clear to give JEE advanced at 60 percentile even if you belong to general e w s.
But there is still hope you can work for April attempt and can give your best so that you will get a better score furthur. :-)
