Yes, it can affect your campus placement. This is because you are studying in NIT which is concerned one of the best colleges of India bearing good students. So your career record is not bright in that scenario. Moreover, you have two years gap. There are many companies which have the eligibility criteria of 60% in the entire career and not more than one year gap in education. So you will be ineligible in those companies. However, there is nothing to lose hope since there are companies which recruits without considering such criteria and recruit only on the present performance during the recruitment process. So prepare well and give your best when you get opportunity.

Not much , BUt you should have 1st class in your 12th std,
That is 60% and more to get placed in campus .

Percentage of mark scored in Academic levels including 10th, 12th, Graduation are all important for getting a good job in a MNC. Most MNC's prefer above 60% scores as their basic cutoff. Though you have scored a good mark in your graduation and your matriculation marks are not that well it will be questioned. Even your mark levels if they are in a linear growth, or varied or decreasing, it is easy to evaluate about you that how your concentration or punctuality in studies are going on.

Year gaps are also not allowed in most companies unless there is a genuine reason such as medical treatment in that case you must have a medical certificate.
Aptitude test and technical/personal interview can evaluate your abilities as well with your academic levels which shows how consistent your abilities are. So they are kept as a hurdle.

Don't feel regret of your past. You can achieve a good career even from earning experience from a lot of other companies who would negotiate on papers but concentric on skills.

Yes, marks in 12th standard will effect you during campus recruitment. Most of the leading companies ask for 60% to 70% marks throughout your academic career. That means you must have good percentage of marks in your 10th, 12th and in graduation.

So if you don't have 60% marks in your 12th standard you are going to miss some leading companies. But don't be upset. There are several other companies as well like start up companies who doesn't require 60% marks throughout your academic career.

Best of luck
