Hi

Your profile suggests that your home state is Madhya Pradesh

With 71 percentile

Your sc rank will be around 25000.

This is a bit difficult to predict the marks/percentile/rank required in JEE mains as closing rank keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the jee main examination , number of seats available for the branch you want etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

With 25000 sc rank, your rank of getting a steat in NIT is extremely low.

For example,

Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 for sc category  :

  • National Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering :- 8450 sc rank

  • National Institute of Technology, Instrumentation Engineering :- 8641 sc rank

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering :- 9207 sc rank

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

From above, it is clear that  to be on the safer side need at least a rank of around 8000 to 9000 sc rank to get into an NIT under other state quota. And to get a rank in this range, you need at atleast around 86 percentile i.e
