Hi

54000 rank is around 95 percentile as per our rank predictor at

https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor

And 54000 rank is around 14500- 15000 obc rank

With this you have,

Chances in some NITs, IIITs which are are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 for obc category  :-

  • Nit nagaland ,Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :-  15340 obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala, Production Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  obc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology(IIIT) Dharwad, Electronics and Communication Engineering ( 4 Years, Bachelor of Technology):- 15280 obc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhagalpur, Mechatronics Engineering:- 16682  obc rank


You can verify the above at

You can prefer IIIT over NITs as in NITs you have chances in very low branches like production engineering whereas in IIITs you have chances in decent branches like electronics and communication.
