Hello sir you can calculate the rank by for jee main paper 2 using the formula, (100-your total percentile) 112679/100.
In your case your son rank must be around 1240.
There's a total of 9 NIT's and 6 CFTIs and other institutes accepting jee main paper 2 scores for admission around 950 seats.

I request you to please help me with your category so that I can provide you exact information.

With this rank I guess you are not able to get admission in top colleges like SPA, Nit trichi.

But I belive you can easily get admission into NIT patna, Nit nagpur,indrapasth University.
