Hi

I am extremely sorry to tell you dear but with 54 percentile you hold very low chance to be eligible for JEE advanced and to eligible for admission in NITs.

This is because,

With 54 percentile being from OBC your chances of qualifying JEE mains 2021 is very very low but to be eligible for JEE advanced and admission in NITs is qualifying JEE main is mandatory.

For reference,
