So on such rank and category he has no chance to get any of the NITs/IIITs/CFTIs until and unless he deserves Home state quota for some NITs which are enlisted below  :-

• National Institute of Technology Agartala - Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering (42298)
• National Institute of Technology Sikkim    - Computer Science and Engineering (70646)

If not then I would recommend you to either go for state counselling for state GFTIs or for private colleges or he can prepare for further attempts of JEE-Main and to help him in his preparation we have some resources which you can access from the link given below :-

Hello Aspirant,

For 54.75 percentile your general rank should be around 498000, you can also predict your rank from this link

If you are from eastern states, like your home state is in eastern states then there is little chance that you will get lower NIT in lower branches in CSAB round of JOSSA Counselling, yes you will definitely participate in JOSSA counselling because cutoff for SC/ST candidate never jumps from 50.

Best of luck!!
