Alright, thanks for clearly sharing your details.
Let's break it down carefully:

You have:

  • JEE Mains Percentile : 89.84

  • CRL Rank : ~150000

  • OBC-NCL Rank : ~50000

  • Home State : Andhra Pradesh

  • Gender : Male

  • Category : OBC-NCL

Now, coming to your question:

1. Can you get IIT?

  • No , not through JEE Mains alone.

  • To get into IIT , you must qualify JEE Advanced (and your JEE Mains percentile should have been much higher, usually 90+ percentile only to be eligible).

  • Even if eligible, with this performance, admission into IITs won’t be possible because IITs require very high JEE Advanced ranks .

2. Can you get into NIT?

  • Yes, possible , but not for top branches like CSE, ECE in top NITs.

  • You have good chances in NITs for lower branches like:

    1. Mechanical

    2. Civil

    3. Metallurgy

    4. Chemical Engineering

    5. Production Engineering

  • Some newer NITs or lower-ranked NITs may offer you CSE/ECE also if you are lucky with category seat and home state quota.

With Home State (AP) quota and OBC category, chances are decent in:

  • NIT Andhra Pradesh (good chance for lower branches, slim chance for CSE/ECE)

  • NIT Puducherry (Home state quota doesn't apply here, but seats are sometimes available for AP students)

  • NIT Goa, NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland — You can get good branches because these are less competitive.

3. Expected Branch Possibility

  • In NIT Andhra Pradesh (your home NIT), you may get:

    1. Mechanical

    2. Electrical (possible)

    3. Civil (likely)

    4. Metallurgy / Material Science (high chance)

  • CSE or ECE at NIT AP will be difficult but not 100% impossible (depends on vacancy and spot round).

4. Other Good Options

If you don’t get into NITs or want CSE branch, then:

  • IIITs (newer IIITs like IIIT Kurnool, IIIT Bhagalpur) may give CSE at your rank.

  • Private good colleges like SRM, VIT, Shiv Nadar, Amrita University are also open if you want CSE.

Conclusion:

  • IIT admission not possible .

  • NIT admission is possible , but branch may not be top ones like CSE/ECE.

  • Lower branches (Mech, Civil, Chemical) at newer NITs very much possible.

  • IIITs and private colleges good backup options for CSE branch.
