Yes definitely with a CRL of 17072, you can secure a seat in either of circuital or core branches in most of the NITs. My suggestion would be, if you have a nice and old NIT in your home state, dont go anywhere else and target that Institute in JOSAA.You have greater chances of securing a seat in either of ECE, Electrical,Mechanical, Chemical or Metallurgical Engineering at your home state NIT.
In case you dont have an old and established NIT in your home state, choose the one NIT where you get a branch of your choice.
Further if you dont have any such branch of your choice my suggestion would be take one of the following options whichever is at vicinity to you home state.
NIT Allahabad Chemical Production
NIT Surathkal/Warangal Metallurgical Civil
NIT Trichy Metallurgical Production
NIT Jamshedpur Electrical Mechanical
NIT Rourkela Civil Chemical Metallurgical
NIT Nagpur Chemical Metallurgical
NIT Jalandhar Mechanical Electrical
The above old NITs have excellent placements and career prospects in their respective branches and have good Academia, Infrastructure and outlook. Do comment if more advice required. I myself am a budding Metallurgical Engineer and have been in the same boat in which you are now.
