Hi'
Congratulations for your remarkable performance in jee!
It’s difficult to tell you the exact about your admission possibilities but as per the previous year cutoff as a general category the chance seems less to get a seat in NITs, however you can try for IIITs & GFTIs and state counseling like Punjab, Haryana, MP, Etc. To know your admission chances in JOSSA & State counseling you can use JEE Main college Predictor tool.

You can calculate your rank in JEE Main Paper 1 using the formula:
Rank = (100-percentile)*(No. of students appeared for the examination)/100
As the no. of students appeared for Paper 1 (Jan) are around 869000, your rank will be around 30000. However as the no. of students in April changes, your rank will change according to that.
With this rank, there are less chances of getting a good branch at one of the top NITs but you may get some another NITs with this rank.
However, since state quota applies for NIT Durgapur, you have high chances of getting into NIT Durgapur.
