iPhone SE without Touch ID.
my problem is that a specific area on the screen is not working. Hence I am unable to unlock the phone using a pin number.
So, is there any way I can unlock the iPhone remotely? Using iCloud or iTunes?

No, you can't unlock the iPhone remotely. You can use VoiceOver to select the numbers on the screen.
To turn off VoiceOver, you can say “Turn off VoiceOver” to Siri, or go into Settings -> General -> Accessibility
to turn it off manually.
If your phone is connected to your company’s system using Microsoft Intune, there is a feature in the Company Portal that does allow you to remotely reset your password. Other Mobile Device Management platforms may have the feature too.
I needed to do this recently and it worked. Only caveat was that FaceID/Touch ID needed to be reconfigured. A couple other key chain things needed to be reset too, but I got access to all of my data, photos, etc.
