Surely not,
You need atleast 92+ percentile for lowermost nit's as an OBC candidate

Hello Candidate,
You cannot get NIT .
A general candidate have 98 percentile to fetch seat in NIT. OBC Candidate have 5-6 percentile advantage than general candidate.
Means for fetching seat in NIT your percentile should be 92 and above.
Little chance of Fetching seat in home state NIT with help of home state quota ( non core branches).
You should go for April Jee main to fetch seat in NIT.
To increase your percentile you should do model question paper with revision of concepts.
It will increase your percentile in a limited time period.
Note: Cutoff percentile may change after April Jee main. Careers360 is not responsible for any varies in prediction. Prediction is based on the previous year cutoffs.

Hey,

you have some chance of getting into nit. But nothing can be predicted for now. The next session of jee mains exam in april will change the current ranks and percentile as more number of students will appear for the exam. So wait for april for the final result.
