86 percentile means your expected rank would be around 1,21,661. Now if the number of candidates in September session increases, then your rank would also increase. Also you haven't mentioned your category so considering you as a general category candidate and going by last few Years' cutoffs of various NITs, it is quite difficult to get any Of the NITs as almost all the seats of NITs get filled within 30000 to 40000 rank. Only a few i.e. north east NITs or NIT Srinagar, Sikkim, Hamirpur etc closing rank goes up to lakhs for general category for home state candidates. Even the closing ranks for various branches in NIT Jamshedpur lies around 20000 to 30000 for general category. Now if you belong to any reserved category, you cam expect seats in NIT Jamshedpur. Apart from NITs, IIITs, you can go for state level government Engineering colleges or the colleges you can expect with this rank is, Jabalpur Engineering college, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai, Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata, Haldia Institute of Technology etc. You can use our Jee Main College Predictor tool to know where you have good chances of getting admission http://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor Go through the cutoffs of last few years' of all the NITs http://engineering.careers360.com/articles/nits-cutoff-for-top-btech-branches

Your rank (CRL) is to be calculated by following formula:

rank= (100-percentile)* Total no of student appeared in exam/100

As per the formula, your CRL rank is coming out to be 121661 approximately, where total no. of student appeared in the exam is 869010 .

You may get a few private colleges and some lower branches in NIT if you have quota such as OBC , SC, ST.
