NIT

Yes, it is necessary to get qualify marks for getting seat NITs, IIITs amd GFTIs. Even though they are the marks decided to write JEE Advanced you must get more than qualifying marks to get seat in any NIT. Category rank was not helpful in this criteria.
All the best.

If you are asking about B.Arch course, it's not possible for you to get admission in any of the NITs with this rank. However, you can easily get a few NITs for B.Tech with this rank. For checking in which NITs you are eligible, I suggest you use the college predictor tool:

There are only 9 NITs offering B.Arch courses where the total number of seats are 559. Therefore, a seat in NITs is not possible with this percentile. I suggest you go with JEE Advanced and based on its rank you might get a seat in IITs. Else, you have to go with the private institutes.

NIT colleges pan India provide first preference to the entrance exam rank, that too the top list rank holders and do not really consider 12th result for admission criteria. You may look for other private university options.
