Hi

With 87 percentile

Your obc rank will be around 44,000.

With above  rank, you have very low  chances in NITs .

For example,

Closing rank for some of the lower NITs for OBC  category under other state is provided below in 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 :-

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to Amity University-Noida B.Tech Admissions 2026

  • NIT Mizoram ,civil engineering :- 14730 obc rank

  • Nit nagaland :- Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :-  15340 obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology AgartalaProduction Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  obc rank


You can verify the above at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

So, to get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 15000 OBC rank i. e around 95 percentile.

Above prediction of is on the basis of past year data but  cut off/closing rank for colleges keeps changing every year depending upon many factors like number of students that appeared in the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main question paper for different shifts etc
