Hi Pushpa,
You have not mentioned your category, I am considering you from general category.
At 78 percentile, your CRL rank comes out to be 2 lakh +.
As per the previous year cutoffs of JEE Mains for admissions NITs or GFITs, at 2 lakh CRL rank it is quite impossible even to get admission in any of the NITs or GFITs.
You may get admission in state level colleges or private colleges for good branch also.
