Hi Rohit,
There is likely less probability that you will get NITs or IIITs on securing 84 percentile in JEE Mains despite having OBC reservation benefit. But, you may wait till Spot round, and you could pull a chance to get something. Other colleges, which you can get based on your rank are -
1. DIT Dehradun
2. JAYPEE Noida
3. LNMIIT

As you have secured 84 percentile score in JEE mains 2020 from OBC category, then it will be quite negligible for you to get seat in any NIT.
Now if you belong from home state quota then your chances to get a seat NIT Sikkim, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, etc. are also difficult.
But with 84 percentile there is no chance that you can get NIT if you belong from other state.
But still as per your percentile score you can try at HBTI Kanpur.
Also you can check out our JEE mains college predictor tool to get an appropriate prediction and idea of the colleges or NITs that you can get on basis of JEE mains rank :-
