Hello,
According to percentile your rank would fall somewhere between 286440-322000. Unfortunately, you cannot take admission in NIT Calicut, and not only about NIT Calicut, with this rank it seems very difficult for you to take admission in any of the NITs. I strongly suggest you to go for GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutions) Assam University or Ghani Khan Institute of Engineering and Technology, West Bengal. Maybe you get admission there.
To check your rank by yourself please go through this link

Good Luck.
