Hello,
to get a government college or not it totally depends on the rank. as the cutoff mark for general category was 25% of 600. Your friend has qualified the exam and can take an admission through counselling.
if you say about the rank then only it wll be easier to say if your friend is eligible for a government college or not.
you can check the previous year data:- https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/upsee-cutoff
to get the list of colleges your friend is eligible use the UPSEE College predictor:- https://www.careers360.com/upsee-college-predictor
Hope it helps!
