With 60% in 12th Science (Group A) and around 38 in GUJCET, your ACPC rank might be quite low, making admission to government B.Tech colleges difficult. BCA is more accessible and offers good IT job prospects. For better income, B.Tech is ideal if you improve your score.

Your merit rank for ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses) should fall in the range of 80,000 to 100,000 based on your results of 60% in Class 12 (Science Group A) and 38 marks in GUJCET.

The way ACPC Rank is calculated is described here.

The merit list is made after applying a 60:40 weightage formula to the results.

A score of 60% out of your Class 12 (PCM) percentile will be considered.

Almost half of your GUJCET score is its percentile.

Considering that you have 60% in Class 12 and 38 out of 120 in GUJCET (meaning 31.6%), your normalized percentile rank would be quite low. If you score around 35-40 in the GUJCET and approximately 55-60% in your board exams, you are likely to get a rank above 80,000.
