Hi Sourabh
There is no minimum percentage required in 12 to sit in JEE mains/Advance.
To sit in JEE advance you need to be among the top 2,24,000 (including all categories) candidates in JEE mains. The percentages of OBC-NCL is 27%
However to qualify for the admission in the IITs/NITs/IIITs and such other CFTIs whose admissions are based on the JEE (Advanced)/JEE(Main) ranks a General category student should have secured at least 75% marks in the 12th or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th class
For SC/ST students the qualifying marks would be 65% in the 12th. No other crietria is mentioned related to OBC category.
Best of luck.
