Hii,

You got 87% in your 10th standard, and that’s really good. Most diploma courses in IT (Computer Engineering) take students based on their 10th marks only. You don’t need to give any entrance exam for it in many states. So yes, with 87%, you can easily get admission in a good government or private polytechnic college.

Now, here’s what usually happens:
Each college has a number of seats, and they prepare a list based on the marks of students who apply. This is called a merit list. Since you have 87%, your name will likely come on that list. In fact, you’ll probably be near the top because your marks are higher than many students.

But remember, it also depends on:

• How many students applied

• Which college you are applying to (some popular ones fill fast)

• Your category (like General, OBC, SC/ST, etc.), because seats are divided

Still, in most cases, 87% is more than enough for diploma in IT. Just make sure to fill out the application form correctly, choose a few good colleges, and submit everything before the deadline. If you do that, you have a very good chance of getting admission.

And once you get in, you’ll study computer basics, programming, networking, software, and more. After completing the diploma (usually 3 years), you can get a job or even go for further studies like B.Tech.
