Hello,
Well if your board aggregate percentage is less than 75% , then you CANNOT be eligible for admission for NIT even if you get AIR 1 in IIT-JEE MAINS.
To join IIT/ NIT/ IIIT/ GFTI :
Gen/ OBC cat candidates should score 75% ,
SC/ ST should score 65%
Or should be in top 20 percentile in their respective board's exam .So if you're a Gen cat candidate and not within top 20 percentile in your board exam you're not eligible for admission into NIT .
But dont worry, if you want an NIT then give the improvement BOARD EXAM, and side by side prepare for MAINS, you will definitely not fail if you are dedicated.
Best of luck.
