For admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs, CFTIs, a general and OBC candidate need to have at least 75% marks in the qualifying examination or be in top 20 percentile of the respective board. Now you have less than 75% in 12, but if you are in the top 20 percentile of your board, then you will be eligible. If not, then you'll not be eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs.

board declares it after the results. every board has to provide the top 20 percentiles list to JoSSA. when you will attend the counselling, JoSSA will check if you are in top 20 percentile or not.

there is another way to know if you are in top 2p percentile or not. Five subjects are taken into consideration, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, language (one with highest marks), any subject other than these four (one with highest marks).
