I scored 65 percentile in jee mains 2025 with crl 5,22,000 and from obc ncl category (obc ncl rank 1,92,000) and belongs to Uttarakhand, can I get any government colleges like gbpuat for btech in uttarakhand with state quota, Or I should take drop for next year. Please help me sir.

Ans: With a 65 percentile in JEE Main 2025 (CRL 5,22,000, OBC-NCL rank 1,92,000) and Uttarakhand domicile, admission to Computer Science or allied BTech branches at GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT) or NIT Uttarakhand is not possible, as the OBC-NCL cutoffs for CSE at these institutions are much lower (GBPUAT CSE cutoff: 30,000–40,000; NIT Uttarakhand OBC CSE cutoff: 13,000–25,000). However, you are eligible for state government colleges in Uttarakhand through UKSEE/UTU counselling, where cutoffs for branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Production Engineering are higher and may extend to your rank. For private universities such as DIT University or Graphic Era, the cutoffs for CSE/IT for OBC candidates are around 1,50,000–2,00,000, so you may get branches like Mechanical or Civil but not CSE/IT. If you are determined to pursue CSE in a government college, consider taking a drop and preparing for JEE Main 2026 to target a higher percentile. As a backup, explore BTech admissions in private colleges with lateral entry options, or consider diploma-to-degree pathways for government institutions in Uttarakhand. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
