Hi Kanhaiya, I would like to tell you that this score is very tough to get through to any PSU jobs being a general category student. The cutoff for Psu are very high for general category mech student, wherein you need to have score of 700+. However you can try for studies doing M.Tech with this score and there are some chances to be part of some good top colleges. How ever even getting into older IITs or NITs will be tough for this score of general category, but don't leave hopes as you have chances. Please refer to our college predictor to get list of colleges you can try to apply for M.Tech
