Dear Candidate ,
Yes with 80 HP CET marks , you surpass typical cutoffs for state - quota entry into JNGEC. You are very likely to obtain a seat in core branches like Civil , Mechanical or  Textile, more competitive streams like E&C or AI may require a bit higher score , but admission is still feasible with your JEE percentile backing it up .

Dear student,

With 80 marks in HPCET and 45 percentile in JEE Mains , your chances of getting a seat at Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College (JNGEC), Sundernagar depend on your branch preference and category .

For General category , 80 marks are borderline for Mechanical or Civil Engineering, but too low for CSE or ECE, which usually need 90+ to 110+ marks. For reserved categories , you have a better chance , especially in less competitive branches.

Your JEE Main percentile (45%) is too low for admission via the JEE route at JNGEC, where CSE usually closes well below 100,000 rank.

Recommendation :

• Apply through the HPCET counselling process , especially for Mechanical or Civil.

• Keep track of later rounds or spot counselling , where cutoffs sometimes drop.

• Have a few backup options ready in other colleges if needed.

80 mark in HPCET, it’s very unlikely you will get a seat in Jawaharlal Nehru Government engineering College or other Himachal Government engineering colleges. Chapati

Dear aspirant,

It's possible to get a seat in a government college in Himachal Pradesh with 102marks in HPCET. If you belong to a reserved category like SC, ST or other your chances are higher but if you are from General category then scores around 100-120 are considered as competitive in most branches. The specific cut off will vary in each college and branches. The number of seats available in your preferred college will also influence your chances. So check the cut offs of your preferred government college .

Good luck.

HEY THERE!!

• With a score of 129 in HPCET and an 88% aggregate in PCM (Class 12 CBSE), your chances of securing a B.Tech seat at Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College (JNGEC), Sundernagar, are quite strong.
• The eligibility threshold for admission is 45% in PCM, which you have exceeded by a significant margin.
• Looking at recent trends, a score above 100–120 in HPCET is generally considered competitive for most branches, particularly for candidates from the general category. Your score of 129 positions you well within this competitive range.
• JNGEC allocates 50% of its seats through the HPCET, while the remaining 50% are filled via JEE Main. With your current HPCET score, you are well-placed for the counselling process.
• Of course, the final outcome will depend on the individual branch cutoffs, your category, and seat availability at the time of allotment. Still, based on previous years’ cutoffs, your marks are above the typical requirements for most branches.
• Remaining attentive to the counselling schedule and procedures will be important to maximize your chances.

Hello Karan,

I understand you're feeling frustrated, but filing a legal case against a college like JNGEC (Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College) should be your last resort , and only if there is a clear and provable violation of their own admission criteria.

Here’s what you should do first:

1. Recheck Eligibility Criteria

• Go through the official admission brochure or notification carefully.

• Confirm the cut-off marks , category reservation , and HPCET score requirements for your category (EWS).
  
  

• 124 in HPCET and 83% in 12th is a strong profile in many cases.
  
  2. Contact the Admission Office

• Call or email the JNGEC admission cell with your query and attach your mark sheet and HPCET score.
  
  

• Politely ask why you were not selected if you're eligible as per their notification.
  
  

• Keep all responses and documents for record.
  
  3. File a Grievance (if needed)

If you receive no valid reason , or the process seems unfair:

• File a written complaint to the college principal or director .

• You can also submit your complaint to HPTU (Himachal Pradesh Technical University) if they manage the admissions.
  
  Legal Action (Only If Justified)

• If there is clear evidence that:

  • You met all eligibility criteria,

  • They promised admission to students with your profile,

  • And still rejected you unfairly without explanation,
    
    

• Then you can consult an education lawyer and consider legal steps.
  
  Avoid Threatening Language

Using threats like “college will face huge rating down” or “they’ll have to give commission” weakens your position. Stick to facts, evidence, and formal complaint channels.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
