Hello Karan,

I understand you're feeling frustrated, but filing a legal case against a college like JNGEC (Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College) should be your last resort , and only if there is a clear and provable violation of their own admission criteria.

Here’s what you should do first:

1. Recheck Eligibility Criteria

• Go through the official admission brochure or notification carefully.

• Confirm the cut-off marks , category reservation , and HPCET score requirements for your category (EWS).
  
  

• 124 in HPCET and 83% in 12th is a strong profile in many cases.
  
  2. Contact the Admission Office

• Call or email the JNGEC admission cell with your query and attach your mark sheet and HPCET score.
  
  

• Politely ask why you were not selected if you're eligible as per their notification.
  
  

• Keep all responses and documents for record.
  
  3. File a Grievance (if needed)

If you receive no valid reason , or the process seems unfair:

• File a written complaint to the college principal or director .

• You can also submit your complaint to HPTU (Himachal Pradesh Technical University) if they manage the admissions.
  
  Legal Action (Only If Justified)

• If there is clear evidence that:

  • You met all eligibility criteria,

  • They promised admission to students with your profile,

  • And still rejected you unfairly without explanation,
    
    

• Then you can consult an education lawyer and consider legal steps.
  
  Avoid Threatening Language

Using threats like “college will face huge rating down” or “they’ll have to give commission” weakens your position. Stick to facts, evidence, and formal complaint channels.

Hello,

Based on your HPCET score of 110 and your EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category status, your chances of securing admission to Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College (JNGEC), Sundernagar , are uncertain

While specific cut-off marks for JNGEC are not publicly available, previous data indicates that candidates in reserved categories, such as EWS, have been admitted with scores ranging from 70 to 90 marks in various colleges.

However, JNGEC is a government college, and competition is typically higher. Therefore, while your score might meet the minimum qualifying criteria, it may not be sufficient for admission in the first round. You may still have a chance in subsequent rounds if seats remain vacant.

To enhance your prospects, consider participating in the counselling process and exploring other colleges as well.

Hope it helps !

Yes, with 202 marks in HPCET (General category), you are eligible for B.Pharmacy admission. Some colleges had cutoffs below your score—for example, Himachal Institute of Pharmacy had a cutoff of 195. You may not get top colleges, but you have a good chance in others. Make sure to register for counseling on the HPTU website.

Hello,

Getting 100 marks in HPCET is good, but admission depends on the cut-off for your chosen course and college.

If your score meets or is above the cut-off for that course, you can get admission. It’s best to check the official cut-off list or counselling details to know for sure.

Hope it helps !

Hello Nandini,

Scoring 72 in HPCET under the OBC category gives you a chance to secure a seat in a government college, but it depends on the cutoffs for the year, the number of applicants, and seat availability.

Government colleges generally have higher cutoffs, especially for popular branches like CSE or ECE. However, your category might give you an advantage in getting a seat in less competitive branches. It's advisable to check the previous year's cutoff trends and participate in counseling to explore your options.

1. Cutoff Trends: Review the previous years' cutoff marks for government colleges in Himachal Pradesh. This will give you an idea of whether your score is competitive enough.
   
   

2. Course Preferences: Different courses (Engineering, Pharmacy, etc.) have different cutoffs. Check the specific cutoffs for the course you are interested in.
   
   

3. College Options: Some government colleges may have a higher cutoff for popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics, while other branches may have lower cutoffs.
   
   

4. Counseling Rounds: Attend all rounds of counseling as seats may become available in subsequent rounds. Be flexible with your choices to increase your chances.
   
   

5. Special Categories: If you belong to any special category (like HP state domicile), check if any additional reservations apply to you.

In general, a score of 218 is competitive, but securing a seat in a top-tier government college will depend on how it matches with the cutoff trends and availability of seats in your preferred course. Keep an eye on official announcements and the counseling process for the most accurate information.
