Hello Sujal,

With 170 marks in HPCET, your chances of getting into a good college depend on several factors:

1. Previous Year Cutoffs:

• Engineering Cutoffs: For good engineering colleges in Himachal Pradesh, previous year cutoffs might give you an idea. For many top colleges, cutoffs are typically higher, but you might have a chance in mid-tier colleges.
  
  2. Type of College:
  
  
• Government Colleges: You may have a better chance in lesser-known or newer government engineering colleges.
  
  
• Private Colleges: Many private institutions in Himachal Pradesh may have cutoffs that are lower compared to top-tier institutions.
  
  3. Counseling Process:
  
  
• Participate in Counseling: Attend all rounds of counseling as seats may open up in later rounds.
  
  4. Backup Options:
  
  
• Explore Multiple Colleges: Apply to several colleges to increase your chances.

In summary, with 170 marks, you might secure a seat in a good or mid-tier college, but it depends on the specific cutoffs and availability. Check with the colleges directly or refer to the official HPCET counseling guidelines for more details.
