Caveat: I've not tested or compiled the following...but something like this:

if (EVP_PKEY_is_a(evpKey, "RSA)) {
     keysz = EVP_PKEY_get_bits(evpKey) / 8;
     /* some code */
} else if (EVP_PKEY_is_a(evpKey, "EC")) {
     char *name;
     size_t namesize;

     if (!EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(pkey,
                                         OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME,
                                         NULL, 0, &namesize))
         /* error */;
     name = OPENSSL_malloc(namesize + 1);
     if (name == NULL)
         /* error */
     if (!EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(pkey,
                                         OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME,
                                         name, namesize + 1, 0))
         /* error */
     /* This gets you the curve name as a string. If you really need as
      * an integer you can additionally do the following - but note that
      * some providers might add curves that libcrypto doesn't know about
      * so this could fail
      */
     ecGrpId = OBJ_txt2nid(name);
     if (ecGrpId == NID_undef)
         /* error */;
     OPENSSL_free(name);
     /* some code */
}

> The "evppkey->pkey.rsa" value can be obtained via EVP_PKEY_get0_RSA() but note that this is deprecated. You are encouraged to not use the RSA structure at all in 3.0 (all the functions that take an RSA structure are deprecated). So you should look at what you are trying to do with

You can get the group from an EC_KEY using EC_KEY_get0_group() - but this is also deprecated. Instead you might consider getting the "group name" for the EC key which will tell you what curve is in use, e.g.
