Come to your chances of getting NIT

-
Your rank will be around 468841 - 527045 as pet our rank Predictor at
Your sc rank will be around 38,000.
With this rank you have very low chance in any NIT
For example,
Your profile suggest that you are from Maharashtra so you will be eligible for home state quota in NIT Nagpur

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.
