Hello,
You should register for backup exams, as they provide more opportunities for admission to engineering colleges. Good option to consider alongside JEE are BITSAT for BITS campus, VITEEE for VIT campus, and various state-level exams like WBJEE for west benfgal and MHT CET for maharashtra.
I hope it will clear your query!!

1. BITSAT

2. VITEEE
Easier than JEE. Good private university option with good placement records.
3. SRMJEEE
Easy to moderate level. Useful as a backup for CSE and other branches.
4. COMEDK

5. WBJEE
If you are open to studying in West Bengal. Jadavpur University is a top engineering college.
6. MHT CET

Other optional exams:

Focus mainly on JEE Main and Advanced. As backup, choose BITSAT plus one or two state/private exams. Do not register for too many exams, or it may distract you.
Hope it helps !
