Percentile is the number of candidates who have scored marks equal or below the marks which you have scored.
20 percentile means that there are 80% of candidates who have scored above than you.
Admission in NITs/IITs/CFTIs will be given even if a candidate doesn't have minimum aggregate requirement in 10+2 (75% in case of general category and 65% in case of SC/ST/PWD) but is in top 20 percentile of their board exam.
