Hello Nandini,

Scoring 72 in HPCET under the OBC category gives you a chance to secure a seat in a government college, but it depends on the cutoffs for the year, the number of applicants, and seat availability.

Government colleges generally have higher cutoffs, especially for popular branches like CSE or ECE. However, your category might give you an advantage in getting a seat in less competitive branches. It's advisable to check the previous year's cutoff trends and participate in counseling to explore your options.

  2. Course Preferences: Different courses (Engineering, Pharmacy, etc.) have different cutoffs. Check the specific cutoffs for the course you are interested in.

  3. College Options: Some government colleges may have a higher cutoff for popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics, while other branches may have lower cutoffs.

  4. Counseling Rounds: Attend all rounds of counseling as seats may become available in subsequent rounds. Be flexible with your choices to increase your chances.

  5. Special Categories: If you belong to any special category (like HP state domicile), check if any additional reservations apply to you.

In general, a score of 218 is competitive, but securing a seat in a top-tier government college will depend on how it matches with the cutoff trends and availability of seats in your preferred course. Keep an eye on official announcements and the counseling process for the most accurate information.

Hello Suryansh,

With a score of 159 marks in the EWS category for the HPCET (Himachal Pradesh Common Entrance Test), your chances of securing admission to a government college are quite limited. Government colleges often have higher cutoffs, and based on previous years' trends, a score of 159 may not meet the required criteria for most institutions.

Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Check Previous Year Cutoffs : Look at the cutoff scores from previous years for government colleges to see if your score falls within the acceptable range.

  2. Consider Private Colleges : If government options are not viable, explore private colleges where your score might be sufficient for admission.

  3. Other Courses : If you're open to different fields of study, consider applying to programs with lower cutoff scores.

  4. Stay Updated : Keep an eye on the admission announcements and counseling processes for any changes or updates in cutoffs.

It's best to act quickly and explore all possible options!
