As per your JEE MAINS 98 percentile the marks out of 300  will get marks around 145 to 167 or more than 167and with those marks and percentile you will get a rank around 17900  to 18540 rank

So account to previous years cutoff it is difficult to get NIT Silchar in ECE department
9857 closing  rank (ews)  of ECE department.

If you want you can only use your General catagory then previous closing rank  52152

Or you can choose othe course like

Mechanical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

Civil Engineering

Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering
