Hello Aspirant,
According to the mentioned percentile and category your rank is expected to be in the range of 492063 - 553150, you can check out marks Vs ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-
https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-marks-vs-percentile
Or
You can also use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank :-
So on such rank and category you have no chance to get any of the NITs/IIITs/CFTIs, so I would recommend you to either go for state counselling for state GFTIs like Engineering college Bikaner, MBM engineering college Jodhpur and so on or for private colleges like Sharda University, UPES Dehradun, etc. or you can prepare for further attempts of JEE-Main and to help you in your preparation we have some resources which you can access from the link given below :-

You can check out previous year's cut-offs from the official website of JOSAA as given below :-
https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx
Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of JOSAA or CSAB and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.
To have a list of all those colleges which you can get based upon your marks, category, and state you can use JEE-Main College Predictor:-

But the marks and corresponding percentile which you have mentioned is not matching because on 143 marks out of 300 marks in JEE-Main 2021 it is not possible to have such low percentile, this can only be possible in the case the paper for that shift is very easy or more than very easy which was not really for February session. So you might have calculated wrong marks using the answer key or there is some error in your result so I would recommend you to reach out to NTA, inform them about your issue because if the situation that you have mentioned is true then on 143 marks an OBC girl can get seat in good NITs.
If we go through the analysis of marks Vs Percentile Vs rank for JEE-Main 2020 then according to the marks mentioned by you in the question your percentile is expected to be in the range of 95.15 - 96.93.
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!!
Hi
You might have miscalculated your marks because with 143 marks you cannot get such low percentile. With 143 marks, one would have got around 96.99 - 98.39 percentile.
Now that, you have got 51.90 percentile
-
your rank will be around 4,92,063 - 5,53,150 as per our rank predictor at
With this rank you have very low chance for any Government Engineering College
With 51.90 percentile, you may not even qualify as per past year trends.
For example,
In 2020, qualifying cutoff for general category was 72.8887969 and jee main 2021 expected qualifying cut off percentile is 70-75 percentile.

So, I would suggest to you focus on your preparation for remaining sessions of jee main so that you can improve your score , go through chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.To help you in your application you can use our jee main knockout for which link is provided below

Many states accept JEE main for state level counselling ,you may have some chances there and in private Engineering Colleges so to check your chances for those you can use our college predictor for which link is provided below
