Clearing the Cutoff, you may be able to qualify for appearing in JEE Advance, but as far as your securing a seat in NIT is concerned, chances seem bleak.

With a Percentile of 85, your CRL will be anywhere between 160-170k in JEE Mains, and a Corresponding OBC NCL Rank anywhere around 50k. With this Rank, you will not be able to fetch any Good NIT, IIIT or GFTI. You must target anywhere between 93-95 percentile atleast over the next JEE Main sessions, for better prospects during Counselling, being from OBC Category.
