Hello Aspirant,
According to the rank and percentile you mentioned it's difficult to get a seat in NITs or IIITs. You may apply for state level councelling. I advise you to start preparation for next year and also take part in councelling, if you get a satisfactory college then go for BTech otherwise continue your preparation. You may predict best colleges according to your rank and percentile through our college predictor:

Hope this will help you.
