Hello there,

With a JEE Mains score of 23.9 percentile and a two-year drop, getting admission to a top government engineering college in Uttar Pradesh (UP) may be challenging, but you can still explore some lower-tier government colleges that may offer low fees and have seats available in the later rounds or spot rounds .

Here are a few options you can consider:

1. Government Engineering College (GEC), Raebareli : This is a government-funded college with relatively low fees. Your chances in later rounds or spot rounds may be higher, especially for branches like Civil Engineering or Electrical.

2. Bundelkhand Institute of Engineering & Technology (BIET), Jhansi : The fees here are affordable, and the competition may be relatively less intense compared to other top colleges.
   
   

3. Shamli Engineering College (SEC), Shamli : This is another low-fee government college in UP, and you might have a chance for some branches depending on the availability of seats.
   
   

4. UP State Engineering Colleges (like Aligarh Muslim University, etc.) : Some branches in state-level colleges may be available for lower-ranked students in spot rounds.

Keep checking JoSAA and CSAB special rounds for seat availability. Make sure to keep an eye on the cut-off trends for each college in previous years for better clarity.

It is advisable to apply for all possible rounds to increase your chances of getting a seat.
