With this percentile score your approximately rank will be more than 1.2-1.4 lakhs general and in this rank it will be difficult to get a decent NIT .
And your category rank will be more than 7000 ( it will exactly depend upon April exam). You may have chances of getting NIT on basis of your category but you have to compromise with your branch.
And cut offs will vary according to colleges ranking and specific branch.
So see the last year's cut offs for some specific colleges and have an idea about those colleges in which you want to go.
I would suggest you to score better than this in April exam; if you are giving it.
Good luck.
