Hello,

With a rank of 1187, it is possible to secure admission to a government college in Odisha, especially if it’s for courses like B.Tech through OJEE (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) or JEE Main.

However, admission depends on factors such as the category you belong to (General, SC, ST, OBC) and the specific course or branch you're aiming for. Popular branches like Computer Science may be harder to get, but you stand a better chance for less in-demand streams.

Additionally, colleges in more remote areas may offer better chances with this rank. Checking cutoffs for the previous years can provide clarity.

Hope it helps !
