With a Percentile of 54.17, being from SC Category you have fair chances in qualifying JEE Main and appearing for JEE Advanced. But, I dont believe with this Score/Rank you will secure any branch in any of the NIT or IIITs. Being from SC, you need to target anywhere around 80 Percentile atleast to have fair chances in securing a seat at some of the NITs.
