Hello Sandeep!

With above mentioned rank you have limited options for NITs. However, few NITs you can get for B.Tech Electrical Engineering are:

1. NIT Arunachal Pradesh for B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering
2. NIT Manipur for B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering
3. NIT Mizoram for B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering

However, all these institutes need a minimum of 75% in class 12th in PCM from a recognised university.

I hope it will help. You can reach out to us for further queries.

Thank You.
