In case you have managed to get 120 marks in HPCET and if you are in EWS category, then you stand in a very good chance in securing a government pharmacy college. EWS candidates are supposed to have a score of 120 since it is rather good: However, it is only provided that a student has the necessary seat in college and the preference of the college and the required cut off of the year coincide in each of the cases.

Your chances of securing a seat will also be determined by your rank and the govt pharmacy college that you want to secure.

Hello,

With a score of 262 in HPCET and a 78 percentile in JEE Mains, your marks are quite good especially for state colleges in Himachal Pradesh like GHEC Bilaspur. Admission into Computer Science or core branches should be within reach, provided you apply under the state quota.Generally, HPCET cutoffs for general candidates in GHEC Bilaspur hover around 180–250 for most branches. So, with 262, you're in a good position. The 78 percentile in JEE Mains might not get you into NIT Hamirpur, but it's still helpful for counselling preferences.

Thank you!

Hello aspirant,
A score of around 97 marks in HPCET puts you in the mid-range of expected percentile, which usually translates to a rank between 30,000 and 50,000, although exact figures depend on the year. Considering the typical closing marks for ECE at ABVGIET, which is a government-affiliated college in Himachal, the required score for HP quota EWS candidates usually falls in the range of 90 to 110 marks. That means your 97 score is likely just around the cutoff, giving you a fair chance to get ECE, especially in later rounds like mop-up or spot rounds.

Since HPCET counselling allows you to choose branches and colleges based on your rank and category, it's important that you participate actively, list ECE at ABVGIET high, and stay engaged through all counselling rounds. If seats remain unfilled, your score should make you eligible for admission.

Dear Candidate ,
Yes with 80 HP CET marks , you surpass typical cutoffs for state - quota entry into JNGEC. You are very likely to obtain a seat in core branches like Civil , Mechanical or  Textile, more competitive streams like E&C or AI may require a bit higher score , but admission is still feasible with your JEE percentile backing it up .

80 mark in HPCET, it’s very unlikely you will get a seat in Jawaharlal Nehru Government engineering College or other Himachal Government engineering colleges. Chapati

Dear student,

With 80 marks in HPCET and 45 percentile in JEE Mains , your chances of getting a seat at Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College (JNGEC), Sundernagar depend on your branch preference and category .

For General category , 80 marks are borderline for Mechanical or Civil Engineering, but too low for CSE or ECE, which usually need 90+ to 110+ marks. For reserved categories , you have a better chance , especially in less competitive branches.

Your JEE Main percentile (45%) is too low for admission via the JEE route at JNGEC, where CSE usually closes well below 100,000 rank.

Recommendation :

• Apply through the HPCET counselling process , especially for Mechanical or Civil.

• Keep track of later rounds or spot counselling , where cutoffs sometimes drop.

• Have a few backup options ready in other colleges if needed.

Due to a technical issue or separate counselling, BPharma might not appear on the HPCET counselling portal.

Verify your eligibility and give it another go later.

If the issue persists, get in touch with HPTU.

Dear aspirant,

It's possible to get a seat in a government college in Himachal Pradesh with 102marks in HPCET. If you belong to a reserved category like SC, ST or other your chances are higher but if you are from General category then scores around 100-120 are considered as competitive in most branches. The specific cut off will vary in each college and branches. The number of seats available in your preferred college will also influence your chances. So check the cut offs of your preferred government college .

Good luck.

With a score of 307 in the HPCET, you’re in a strong position for B.Tech admissions across several colleges affiliated with Himachal Pradesh Technical University (HPTU). Of course, actual admission hinges on a few variables: your category (General, SC, ST, OBC), the specific branch you’re targeting (like CSE, ECE, ME, etc.), seat availability, and, naturally, the cutoff trends from past years.

If you’re aiming for reputable institutions, you might want to consider Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College in Sundernagar, Himachal Institute of Technology in Paonta Sahib, and Green Hills Engineering College in Solan. These colleges are generally well regarded within the HPTU network.

For a more precise idea of your prospects, the HPCET College Predictor Tool on the Careers360 website is quite useful. It can provide a tailored list of colleges and branches based on your score, which is helpful for strategic planning.

If you’d like this information in Hindi or want insights about a specific college, just let me know.

With 40 marks in HPCET 2025, getting admission to a government engineering college in Himachal Pradesh will be very difficult, especially in high-demand branches like CSE, IT, or ECE. Government colleges like NIT Hamirpur or JNGEC Sundernagar have higher cutoffs even for state quota students.

You may have a chance in lower-demand branches (Civil, Mechanical) in spot rounds if seats remain vacant.
