For an obc candidate, the rank upto 15000 can make one eligible to get admission in NITs.
For your percentile the rank is calculated as
(100-percentile)number of students appeared/100
The sum is equal to 148000-204000, so it's not actually possible to get NITs, better luck next time.
Thanks!
According to the formula, [100-82*869010/100], your All India Rank is 156421 approximately. Since you belong to the OBC category, your category rank will be around 63000-64000 approximately. You have not mentioned your home state and the branch you want to choose.
You can get a seat in some NITs only if you come under the Home State Quota. You can check the cut-off ranks of all the NITs from the link given below:

Also note that the cut-off rank changes every year depending on the difficulty of the paper,and the number of candidates appearing for it.
I would suggest you to appear for the second phase of JEE Main with a better preparation. Try to score atleast 95 percentile this time, so that you can get chance in the NITs. You can use our college predictor to predict the best college for you:
Hope this answer helps you.
Good luck!!
