Hello,

With an 89.5 percentile in JEE Main and an expected OBC rank around 35,000–45,000 , getting Mechanical Engineering in top NITs like:

is unlikely because their cutoffs for core branches are much higher.

However, you still have realistic chances at:

Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing Kancheepuram — good chances for Mechanical or Smart Manufacturing.
National Institute of Technology Puducherry — possible for Mechanical depending on counselling rounds.
Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City
Indian Institute of Information Technology Kottayam
Indian Institute of Information Technology Dharwad

These IIITs mainly focus on CS/ECE-related branches, but they can still be good alternatives depending on your interests.
