Yes, you are eligible to apply for NEST (National Entrance Screening Test), because minimum qualification required to apply for NEST exam is 10+2 or equivalent qualification from government recognized board.

>> Age limit to apply for NEST exam is 18 years, Relaxation of 5 years for candidate belongs to SC/ST category.

>> Candidate who are appearing in10+2 are also eligible to apply for NEST exam.

Exam Details:-

:- NEST exam is based on subjects like General, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology.

No, ITI is still not considered equivalent to class 12th, when it comes to NEST. You need to have class 12th qualification with science stream, to become eligible for NEST.

Hence, first of all you need to have complete class 12th with science stream like PCB or PCM, before applying for this exam.
