Hello aspirant,

With an 88 percentile in the JEE Main exam, it is challenging to secure admission to top NITs or IITs, even with an OBC-NCL category reservation. The cutoffs for NITs and IITs vary each year and depend on various factors such as the number of applicants, seat availability, and difficulty level of the exam.

However, you may still have a chance at securing a seat in some of the lower-ranked NITs, newer NITs, or other government-funded technical institutions (GFTIs) that accept JEE Main scores.

For the most accurate information, you should also refer to the previous year's cutoffs and the official JoSAA counseling data for your specific category. This will give you a better idea of your chances of getting into a particular NIT or other institutions.

Hope it helps you!
