Assuming you are from General Category, to secure Mechanical Engineering at some of the Good NITs as well as GFTIs like PEC, IIEST or BIT Mesra, you need to target a CRL of atleast 35k in JEE Main. For CRL 30-40k, the corresponding percentile range is anywhere between 96.5-97, which should be your first target.

hello aspirant,

As you did not mention your category considering you from GEN category,and you did not mention your state domicle so considering other state quota for nits ,you have fair chances to fetch seat in mechanical engineering branch  like nit agartala,nit meghalaya,nit nagaland,nit sikkim,nit arunachal pradesh,nit manipur,nit srinagar,nit andhrapdesh.your rank would be around 40k and the above mentioned cutoffs for last year closing ranks round 6 the ranks are similar.so with 96 percentile you have few chances to fetch seat.now remember each year the cutoff changes and if it change so are your chances into colleges.for more information to get a personalised report on what all choices you have for your rank refer to:
