Hi, to get into NITs or IITs you need to at least qualify the exam. However, you can apply to other private and government colleges. You can also apply for your state level CET to get admissions. Those exams are comparatively easy. Below is the link for you to predict which college you can get into. Hope it helps.

Hello Aspirant! Yes, you can apply for the JOSAA counselling even if you got 40.4 percentile in JEE Mains. Anyone can participate in the counselling no matter whatever marks or percentile they got. There no restrictions for participating in the JOSAA counselling.
But for you, I should tell you that it's of no use for you to participate in the counselling as you won't be getting any colleges through it. It's impossible for a candidate with 40 percentile to get a college through JOSAA. You may try improving your marks the upcoming year for having better chances of securing a college.
All the Best!
