Yes, surely you can get either Mumbai or Delhi. As most of the Delhi seats are occupied first, then the other colleges come in. But you could surely get Delhi as you have a good rank.

Hi, You have scored well but still there are low chances as the seats are only 120 and it is very difficult for the general category candidates to secure a seat in such a high competition.
