Dear aspirant,

Software engineering is an application in developing of a software with different methods. It is a subject in Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology Engineering . If you  learn software  engineering  , then you can become a software developer. As you may know that engineering from good colleges will ultimately lead to a good placement in a company. It doesn't matter if you got 51 % in 12th std , it is done ,you cant change that. So your next step is to get good marks in engineering entrance exams like JEE mains and MHT-CET . Colleges give admissions on the basics of your 12th std PCM marks and entrance exam marks . The admissions are on the merit basis, so different colleges have different criteria . But don't get into a dilemma that you wont get a admission and study that subject, you can get admission in an engineering college , it depends on seat availability .

Here are the colleges that i prefer you can get as i consider you must have done well in entrance exams :

1) Savitribai Phule Engineering College Pune.
