Hello Chirag,
Yes, that is true that you need to have 75% in boards, but that is only the case with JEE Mains paper 2. All the JEE exams require a 75% in board exams for admission into NITs and the other colleges that come under JEE.
Even for JEE Mains paper 1 (B.Tech), you need to have 75% in HSC to get an NIT even if you have scored 300/360.
In case of NATA exam (National Aptitude Test in Architecture), it is enough to have 50% in mathematics and English. These are compulsory subjects and you should have passed the exam with 50%.
