Qualifying JEE Mains at a good rank ensures you a seat in one of the NITs and GFTIs. Assuming you are a General Category Aspirant you need to target a minimum rank of 30k to get a respectable branch in a NIT or GFTI. An AIR of 30k nearly converts to a percentile of 97.5 , which should be your target.

Besides this JEE Mains also serves as a Qualifier for the JEE Advanced Exam , which serves as a pathway for entry in the IITs. Hope that Helps.
