Hii Harikesh,

as elgibility criteria described by NTA that 12th percentage should be minimum 75 % to get admission in NITs.

so you can get NITs.

but this criteria is only for general .

if you arte SC/ST then you will need onl 65 %.

                  yes you can get many Government colleges at this Percentile.

 you can check the college you can get on this link-

Hello Harikesh,

First of all congratulations on your excellent performance in JEE Mains.
Although for admissions in NITs/IIIts/GFTIs there is a cut off for the marks obtained on your 12th.
For general category students it is 75% and for SC/ST are to secure 65% marks.
So if you have scored less than 75 and belong to general category then you won't be able to get in the above mentioned colleges.

For more details you can follow the link below.

All the best!
