Dear candidate
As you did not mention your category in your query and getting seat at NIT depends on your rank which depends on your category so, considering general category in general it is impossible to get seat in NIT with just 80 marks in JEE MAINS as you barely qualified and if you want to know eligible for any other category mention it so that I can provide you with the required information.
Hope this Information is helpful
