What 140 marks means for you
140 out of 360 (39%) clears the General rank-list minimum of 92, as long as you also have at least 8 marks in each subject. IIT seats get scarce past about 12,000 for General students. Category ranks, IISERs, IISc and your JEE Main rank for NITs are your best options.
Twenty more marks (160) would put you near rank 7,500. In JEE Advanced that's often two questions, or one avoided negative-marking mistake per paper.
