Hello

You cant be eligible for JEE Mains under this condition. You have to score atleast 75% marks or be in top 20 percentile for qualifying JEE Mains.
However for SC/ST, this should be atleast 65%.

75% marks in the qualifying exam is mandatory for taking admission in IIT/NIT/IIIT as per the new rule,so it is not possible to get NIT.
