With a 65% in Class 12, it might be difficult to get admission in IITs or NITs, because they follow a minimum eligibility criteria generally set at 75% marks in 12th, or at least you be in the top 20 percentile of your board. For the GFTIs, being Government Funded Technical Institutes, you may have a good shot because they have a little more relaxed criteria sometimes. Admission to the NITs and IITs is largely determined by your ranks in the JEE Advanced and Mains. Therefore, all of it would depend on how competitive your score is relative to the annual cutoff.
