can I get seat in gec thrissur with 36 percentile in jee mains

Dear

According to the information with a 36 percentile in JEE Main, securing a seat at Government Engineering College (GEC), Thrissur might be quite challenging as the cutoffs for this institution are generally higher. GEC Thrissur typically requires a higher rank for admission to their B.Tech programs.

However, don't lose hope! You might still have opportunities at other state-level engineering colleges or private institutions with lower cutoffs. For finding the best college you Deserve use College predictor tool.
