Hello Aspirant,
See it is quite difficult to tell you an exact figure of your EWS rank because it keeps on changing every year depending upon various factors but yes we can help you with approximate figures on the basis of analysis of previous year's data.
So If we go through the analysis of Percentile Vs CRL rank Vs EWS rank for JEE-Main 2021 then according to the percentile mentioned by you in the question your CRL and EWS rank are expected to be in the range of 200000-230000 and 25000-35000 respectively.
Note that the ranks which are predicted are only the expected ranks on the basis of previous year's data so your actual ranks might vary depending upon current factors.
Based on such rank you have almost no chances for National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Sonepat, Haryana because the closing EWS rank in 2021 was around 14400 in Round 6 of JOSAA counselling.
