Hello!
The criteria for admission in various NIT's, IIT's and other GFTI's is to score either 75% as minimum in boards or to be in top 20 percentile of your board. Take as example that the

top 20 percentile cutoff for your board is 88%(example) than if you have above 75% you will be able to get admission
but if the top 20 percentile is 60% then you only need to have more than 60% to get admission

In case of boards like CBSE the top 20 percentile is majorly greater than 75% therefore by case 1 you need to score atleast 75% but in state boards sometimes top 20 percentile is less than 75% therefore by case two you need only be in top 20 percentile.
Hope this helps
Thanks and regards
Ayush
