You have scored an average percentile. This percentile seems a bit remarkable as you can get ECE in a few NIT colleges. But if you look rank wise then you will notice that you are rank is only around 18 thousand which is calculated by the method given by NTA.

I would definitely suggest that you must try and improve your percentile just a little bit in the coming jee mains April paper. Focus on your weak topics and start giving full syllabus tests regularly, this will definitely help you improve.

And also, don't waste your precious time looking for various colleges you can get as you will get plenty of time to do this during the counselling process in the summer breaks that is in June.

Hello Ramakant Dubey,
You can get home state NIT on the basis of your percentile. You are actually on border line of fetching seats in NIT.
For top 10 NIT your percentile should be above 98.50 for CSE department as per our expert.
For top 10 NIT CSE you should go for April Jee main.
To increase your percentile you should do model question paper with revision of concepts in a limited time period.
