May 20, 2020 at 19:45 comment added Leyli Jafari Thanks a lot! -- And can you perhaps also tell what would be the answer if the assume $N = {\rm Z}(G)$?

May 20, 2020 at 11:10 comment added YCor "Is contained", you mean "is isomorphic to a subgroup of"? Anyway, in many cases $N$ is non-abelian, so this sounds hopeless. Even with $N$ abelian, you have plenty of perfect semidirect products $G=N\rtimes S$ with $S$ simple non-abelian (for given $S$ you have such $G$ with $N$ arbitrary large). Classifying them for $N$ abelian of prime exponent is essentially classifying reps of $S$ in arbitrary finite fields. Classifying them for $N$ nilpotent is even much harder. So this sounds hopeless.
