193k rank sounds tough but since you belong to EWS category, you might have a chance in some lower NITs or GFTIs, especially in home state quota or less popular branches. 

I guess it depends on whether you're going through the general pool or using a reservation. If you're from General category, then CRL rank matters. But if you have a category like OBC, SC, then use your category rank for more accurate prediction.

Class 12 marks do not impact  into IIT admissions. But if you get 70 and above then there are more chances to be highlighted after GATE.  

Gate is given for Masters admission especially M.Tech . 

Gate score between 400 and 800 is required to get admission in IIT or NITs.

With 98.93 percentile, you can aim for AIML or AIDS in NITs like Silchar, Jalandhar, Hamirpur, or Raipur. Top ones like Trichy or Warangal might be hard unless you have a category or state quota.
