Hello dear student,

98 marks in GUJCET is a very good marks, but 58% may reduce your overall merit rank as both class and GUJCET marks are considered.

You have some chances for ECE in government colleges but not in the top ones. so, you should keep other branches as backup as well.

Hello,

With 98 marks in GUJCET, you have a good chance of getting an ECE seat in a government engineering college in Gujarat, as a score between 80 and 120 is considered good and can help you target a reputed college. However, the 58% may decrease your chances of admission, so you have to take care of it.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello

You scored 98 marks in GUJCET, which is a strong score. Well done
Your 58 in board exams (due to an accident) might lower your overall merit a bit.
Still, there's a fair chance you could get ECE in a government engineering college, especially in later rounds.
Top colleges may be harder to get into due to high cut-offs, but some mid-level government colleges might take you. Your GUJCET score definitely helps balance out the low board marks.
