There are two type of eligibility criteria for taking admission in IIT and NIT. You will have to be in either any one of them. One is that you are in top 20 percentile of your board and second is you have scored above 75% from any board. If you are not lying in any one of them you can't take admission in IIT and NIT. But still you can appear in jee mains exam, and if you score good you will have many good college options.

Irrespective of your board percentage you are eligible for JEE mains.

To be eligible for JEE you should have to only pass in 12th exam with minimum 5 subjects. But to get admission in NITs and IITs you should have at least 75% score after 12th when you belong to open category. If you are from SC/ST or PWD you are reserved to 65%.

Yes you are. Even if you get less than 70% you are eligible for mains but you won't get any NIT and IIT.
