You got 79.75 percentile in JEE Main and you belong to the OBC-NCL category. Whether you can get a seat in NIT Silchar depends on your home state and the branch you are aiming for.

If you are from Assam, you may have a chance in some branches like ECE, Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil. Getting Computer Science is difficult unless your rank is much lower.

If you are from another state, getting a seat in NIT Silchar will be more difficult, especially in top branches like CSE and ECE, because the closing ranks are much lower for other state candidates.

For example, in recent years:

For other state OBC candidates, CSE closed around 3900 rank, and ECE closed around 5800 rank.

For home state OBC candidates, CSE closed around 13,500 and ECE around 22,000.

So if you belong to Assam (home state), you have better chances in branches other than CSE. If not, then chances are low unless your actual JEE Main rank is below 8000.

Please check your category rank in the official JEE Main scorecard. That will help better during JoSAA counselling.
