ThankyouHi
Dear Student,
NIT Takes admission through the JOSSA counselling only with the JEE mains score, your percentage will not matter here even if you have got 100%, you just need a good rank/percentile to get the best NIT in good branches.
With 75 percentile you will not be able to get any of the college through JOSSA counselling or even you may not qualify it also, you can try your own state counselling to get some government colleges.
BTW you have got a good percentage so you can take admission in some top colleges with your 12th percentage, list of some colleges are given below.
You can try this link to find some good colleges for yourself according to your rank.
