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
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 .
Yes, possible , but not for top branches like CSE, ECE in top NITs.
You have good chances in NITs for lower branches like:
Mechanical
Civil
Metallurgy
Chemical Engineering
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.
In NIT Andhra Pradesh (your home NIT), you may get:
Electrical (possible)
Civil (likely)
Metallurgy / Material Science (high chance)
CSE or ECE at NIT AP will be difficult but not 100% impossible (depends on vacancy and spot round).
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.
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.
