Hello Aspirant
As, the opening and closing ranks for a college changes every year, so no one can exactly tell you which college you get according to your rank. Now, with 26K rank in ews quota, your chances to get NIT is very low. EWS quota is started from the year 2019, and it only gets very less number of seats till date. Colleges have demanded more time, so that they can make seats, opportunities for ews quota students as it required change in their infrastructure which is not so easy. Also, the ews quota is around 10%, so there are also less number of seats. With such rank, you may or may not NIT, because government has taken initiative to promote girls education in the field of engineering. To know which colleges, you can get on the basis of your rank, you can use Careers360 college predictor tool.

Hello Aspirant,
According to the category rank you have mentioned in the question you cannot get any of the NITs as per previous year's cut-offs but yes I would suggest you to sit for some state counselling because in some of the state government colleges you can get admission on such ranks.
Note that the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors.
So you can use JEE-Main College Predictor to predict your chances of admission in different engineering colleges of India :-
