Hey
Congrats for such a wonderful percentile.
As per government colleges eligiblity criteria minimum requirement board percentage for general and obc are 75 percent. As you have less percentage than that you won't be eligible for NIT irrespective of your percentile in JEE MAINS , whether you score a wonderful percentile but without the crossing the required board percentage it is worthless for admission in government colleges.
You can go for top private institutions like Thapar University or Jaypee Noida, where you can get your desired branch.
Hope this solves your query.
Good Luck!!
