Hi

I am assuming that you belong to general category

With 40  percentile


With this rank, your chances of getting a seat in NIT, IIITs or government colleges is extremely low. Even to get into lower NITs you should have got at least around 45000 - 50,000 rank i. e 95.5 - 96 percentile.

You may not even qualify JEE main examination

In 2020, qualifying cutoff for general category was 90.3765335 percentile
