HELLO SAHANA
Well your question is incomplete as you did not mention which college you want to apply to but let me tell your rank.
since it is very difficult to predict the exact rank but we do have a backup. we have a formula to calculate the expected rank that is (100 – Total percentile) x 869010/100. so according to formula your expected rank for present percentile for January session comes out to be 173802 . Now the expected rank might change depending on the no of candidates appearing the april session. For ex if 12 lakh candidate appear the april session then just replace 869010 by 12 lakhs. But if you score above 85 percentile then you have a very decent chance of qualifying jee mains.
So getting any NITS is little difficult with your present percentile.No worries since you have an april attempt left

ALL THE BEST FOR APRIL
Hello Sahana.
As you've mentioned that you've scored 80 percentile in the recent JEE mains examination and assuming you're a general candidate.
Your rank would be around 1,73,800-1,73,999.
It would be extremely difficult for you to get into any government college based on this percentile. Even for admission into other lower colleges you're chances of getting your desired branch are extremely difficult.
Hope for the best !
Hello Aspirant,
As per the previous year cutoff, Based on this percentile the chances seems less to get a seat in NITs, IIITs & GFTIs.
You can try for the state level counselling. I would also suggest you to appear for JEE Main April Session 2020 which application form is expected to start from 7th February, 2020.
To know your admission possibilities in state level counselling you can use JEE Main college predictor tool given below.
In case you have query related any college then kindly mention here the college name.
Good Luck!
