If you got 970 marks out of 1000 in Intermediate, you have a strong chance of getting a free BTech seat in a government or good private college, depending on your EAMCET (EAPCET) rank and your reservation category.

Your intermediate marks will help improve your EAMCET weightage, since 25% comes from board marks and 75% from the EAMCET score. With 970 marks, your board performance is excellent.

If your EAMCET rank is below 10,000, you can get a free seat in many government and some private engineering colleges through convener quota. Free seat means your tuition fees will be covered under schemes like the fee reimbursement program, depending on your category and income.

Students from reserved categories like SC, ST, BC, or EWS usually get full fee reimbursement if they meet the eligibility rules. Even if you are from the open category, you still have a chance for a free or low cost seat in some colleges if your EAMCET rank is good.

You may still have to pay for exam fees, hostel, transport, or other small charges, but tuition fees will be covered.

Hello,

With 970 marks in your intermediate board exams, you're in a strong position for B.Tech admissions , especially in government-funded colleges and universities .

While you may not be able to directly access free seats in the most competitive institutions ( like NITs, IITs, and IIITs ) without a strong performance in entrance exams like JEE Main , your board marks can still be a significant asset in the admissions process, particularly in state-level institutions and for private colleges.

Thank you!!
