Hey,

You haven't mentioned your category which plays an important role in predicting if you are eligible for JEE advanced or not. If you are a general category candidate, then you may not be eligible since the qualifying scores are expected to be around 85+ percentile. If you belong to OBC, then you may have a chance, but very little as previous year cut-off was 74 percentile. It would be better if your appear in April session and score a little more.

Now, according to your percentile, your rank will be around 2,18,990. You can calculate it yourself using the formula:
(100- your percentile)869010/100.
Here, 869010 Is the number of candidates who appeared in the Jan session of JEE mains. If the number of candidates increase in April session, then your rank will also change .

Considering this rank, you may not get admission in NITs since they usually have cutoffs for every category in thousands, and your rank is in lacs.
Kindly check the link below to see previous year cutoff:
