Hello Prabhu Patidar, as you have stated correctly your score of less than 75% in the state board has made life little difficult for you. For getting admission in Government engineering colleges of your state you need to clear the entrance exam that is being conducted by your state. Many states in India except JEE Mains results as the criteria for deciding admissions to engineering colleges and if your state happens to be like this then I am sure you will get the branch that you desire since you are performance in this examination is indeed excellent. Else you need to look for a seat under the management quota in the private colleges of your state but that will cost a lot of money. Alternatively if it is feasible you can appear for your state board exam once again for enhancing the percentage that you obtain since many boards do allow students to appear and increase their passing percentage. Of course in this scenario you will need to appear for JEE Mains examination once again but I think you need not worry about that because you will score very nicely. Best wishes to you.
