Yes you have a high chance of getting a seat in JEE Mains as the PWD students have lower cut off marks so 40-80 should be sufficient enough.
And PWD students get 5% seat reservations so the chances are high.
With this mark you may not get admission in top NIT but sure will get in lower level NIT.

Candidates need not have 75 percent marks in class 12 for appearing in JEE Main. As per the official brochure released by the NTA there is no minimum percentage required for appearing in the JEE Main. The requirement of 75 percent marks need not be associated with JEE Main. It is to be understood that 75 percent marks is required for admission to institutes which include NITs, IIITs, GFTIs and IITs. There are many institutes which offer admission on 60% and even less along with JEE Main. Candidates must clearly understand that the requirement of 75 percent marks in class 12 is only for taking admission in the institutes.
