Dear Aspirant,
No. You won't be able to get admission in any NIT or IIIT with your rank. For a general candidate to get a seat in any NIT/IIIT, your rank must be under 30k. As you are falling short on that you will not be able to get into one. Moreover, your +2 marks do not matter in admissions in NITs/IIITs, only you have to score 75% or be in the top 20 percentile. After that only your rank matters.
However, if this was your first attempt, I suggest you should take a drop year and prepare again. Give JEE 2020 and try to be under rank 30k. Then you will be eligible for admission in NITs/IIITs.
