Hello Aspirant!

The minimum percentage of marks that one should obtain in Senior Secondary Examination, for being eligible for IITs and NITs, is 75%. Since you have scored more than that, you are definitely eligible for the IITs and NITs.

Since you have more than 75% overall,hence you can get admitted in nits,and also if you belong to reserved category like sc st and pwd then its 65.So no problem for you

Hope this helps you

All the best for future
