You have NITs, IIITs, GFTIs other than IITs. And you haven't mentioned your January score. But you can calculate your percentile using the formula 100-your percentile*869010/100 where in 869010 is the no.of Candidates who have appeared for January session. Now direct admission to Private Colleges should always be the last resort given the huge financial burden it might bring to the table. What we would suggest is wait for Sepetmeber session, see how you have fared and then take a call. If you can score 95 percentile and above, you will not need a Private College because then the opportunities would open up in good Colleges. And eitherways the Academic year has not started yet and so you have time to wait and take a call. If you are confident of scoring good in JEE Mains, you should take advantage of that;). May be this can help you in your preparation:
