Yes, it does although there are some ifs and buts. IB scores come in a little later after the NLSIU admission process begins. So CBSE students have that advantage but I think IB should be fine too.
One of my friends didn't opt for IB for the same reason that they delayed the result and that might result in dropping a year. You can even opt for the exam while you are in the 11th class by choosing the option ‘Class 12 result pending’. That will help you get prepared for the exam and know the level of difficulty. It will act as a practice test for you.
