No, you can apply for JEE advanced because the eligibility criteria for JEE advanced also includes that the candidate hast to score a minimum of 75% in his/her 12th, and for SC/ST/PwD criteria the aggregate marks are a minimum of 65%. Hence if you qualify 12th with 65% under the OBC category also you aren't eligible to attempt JEE advanced under Eligibility Criteria -5.
For detailed information refer to the below link. Also, Eligibility Criteria -5 is present in the below link.
