According to the previous year trends, 160 marks is generally equivalent to a rank around 15k-20k / 98 percentile in Jee Mains. But this is a rough estimate, marks vs rank vary highly every year depending upon various factors. You have very less chances in top NITs , but you can  get NITs like Sikkim, Srinagar, Manipur, mizoram and IIITs like Surat,sonepat Bhopal,TRICHY,kottyam. Choose according to your preferred branch.

Good Luck !
