Hey there!

Thanks for your question! So yes, you can still get admission in a government engineering college with 55% in your Class 12, depending on a few factors. Most states and entrance exams like JEE Main or state-level ones (like WBJEE, BCECE, MHT CET, etc.) have eligibility criteria where you just need to pass 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths. Some require at least 45–50% in PCM, so with 55%, you’re above that in many cases!

Now, getting into top government colleges might be tough because they usually have higher cutoffs and competition, but if you’ve appeared for the entrance exam and have a valid score, there are still decent options you can go for — especially through state quota or if you’re from a reserved category.

Don’t worry at all — you’ve got options.
