No what have you heard is wrong, and the truth is "There is no minimum percentage required" to appear in IES (Indian Engineering Services) examination. Yes, the basic educational qualification required is "Candidates must have passed "Degree in Engineering" B.E/ B.Tech from a recognized university to be eligible for IES Examination. Remember, you must have completed Bachelor degree in Engineering in any stream but choose the subject in the following disciplines only,
* Mechanical Engineering
* Electronics and Communication Engineering
* Civil Engineering
* Electrical Engineering

I am happy to say that, there is no specific percentage criteria is required to be eligible for Indian Engineering Services Examination. So do not worry, and you can apply for IES Examination with the present percentage (58%) you have since the basic qualification is candidates must have passed Bachelor Degree in Engineering.
