Hey aspirant!
As of now, it is difficult to predict the actual qualifying NTA score for JEE Advanced eligibility. However, according to many experts, percentiles above 85-86 for a general candidate would have a decent chance, going by the previous years' and also this years' analysis. Also ,referring to the previous year's JEE Main qualifying cutoff scores by NTA, there is some possibility for you to qualify, although, it has to be said that those possibilities are very small. Previous year's cutoff scores for few categories are as follows:-
Common Rank List (CRL)
89.7548849
GEN-EWS
78.2174869
Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL)
74.3166557
Therefore, looking at previous year's trends, you have a very small chance to qualify for JEE Advanced even with your OBC category.
However, you still have a shot at it by performing well in the April Jee Mains session. So, good luck for that and work hard.
