Hlo Dear Candidate,

For Computer Science/IT students in the general category, cracking government seats mainly depends on your entrance exam score. For exams like JEE Main or state CETs, you generally need around 90–95 percentile to secure a top government seat in CS/IT.

For state-level engineering admissions, the cutoff varies by college and state, but usually you need 85–95% marks in PCM or entrance exams to get a government seat. Top colleges like IITs, NITs, and state engineering colleges have the highest cutoffs for CS/IT.

Factors like number of seats, competition, and your rank also affect admission. To improve your chances, aim for 95%+ in board exams and a high rank in entrance exams.
