Shubham, As of now, it is difficult to predict the actual qualifying NTA score for JEE Advanced eligibility. However, according to many experts and the predicted cutoffs, if you have a percentile above 85-86 for any category, then you have a decent enough chance to qualify. Also, you can refer to the previous year JEE Main qualifying cutoff scores by NTA as follows to understand your chances:-
Common Rank List (CRL)
89.7548849
GEN-EWS
78.2174869
Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL)
74.3166557
Scheduled Caste (SC)
54.0128155
Scheduled Tribe (ST)
44.3345172
PwD
0.11371730
Since you have not specified your category, therefore I am answering based on GENERAL CATEGORY considerations. Therefore, looking at previous year's trends it is possible for you to qualify for JEE Advanced if you belong to general category but the probability is rather small. But if you belong to any other category, then you can check it out in the 2019 cutoffs as I have already discussed earlier.
Now, coming over to the colleges, then you have a decent enough percentile for getting some lower NITs like the Northeastern NITS and NIT Puducherry, NIT Srinagar etc. and also some of the private institutions accepting JEE MAIN scores. Also, you should opt for State-level counselling process as your percentile may fetch you some colleges through that process too.

Also, you have another opportunity to improve your results by performing better in the April attempt and I would advise you to concentrate on that too to boost your chances of getting the desired colleges.
