Hello there,

With 81% in your board exams and a 25 percentile in JEE Main, your options for engineering colleges may be limited, especially for highly competitive branches. However, there are still some colleges where you might have a chance of admission, particularly in state-level and private colleges. Here are some options you can consider:

1. State-Level Engineering Colleges

• State Government Colleges : Depending on your state's cutoff, you might qualify for various state engineering colleges that offer admissions based on board exam marks or state entrance exams.
  
  2. Private Engineering Colleges
  
  
• K L University, Andhra Pradesh
• SASTRA University, Tamil Nadu
• Manipal University, Karnataka
• BML Munjal University, Haryana
• Thapar University, Punjab
• Nirma University, Gujarat
  
  3. Deemed Universities
  
  
• VIT University, Tamil Nadu (consider checking their eligibility criteria as they also consider board marks)
  
  
• SRM University, Tamil Nadu (also considers board exam performance)
  
  4. Vocational and Polytechnical Colleges
  
  
• Consider applying to diploma courses or vocational programs that might lead to lateral entry into engineering colleges.
  
  5. Entrance Exams
  
  
• Explore other entrance exams such as WBJEE , MHT-CET , or Karnataka CET , which may have different cutoffs compared to JEE.
  
  Additional Suggestions:
  
  
• Contact Admissions Offices : Reach out to the admissions offices of these colleges to inquire about their specific admission criteria and any potential flexibility they may have for students with lower JEE scores.
  
  
• Consider Drop Year : If you're interested in engineering, consider taking a drop year to prepare for JEE again for better prospects in the following year.

Make sure to apply as soon as possible and explore all possible avenues for admission.
