I want to do B.Tech in CSE but I scored 42% in jee main 2021.Now what should I do ?

With this rank, They are very less chances to get a seat through counselling , so I suggest you to get with the private colleges according your preferences. As the admission is based on your rank and general details be sure about the  cut-off marks on the given courses.

You can also get admissions chances  through State level Government & private colleges.
