If you belong to ST or SC category, then you will surely get an NIT during counselling. If you belong to OBC category then you may or may not get an NIT. General category cannot get into NITs with this score.

Yes, you might get. Be fast enough to book your seats during counselling. Whatever seat you get in any NIT, just go for it. NIT that is in your state will give you state quota also.
