Yes, you can get admission to Bedekar College with 66 percentile.

You can get a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 because a 66 percentile is higher than the minimum general cutoff range of 40 to 79.

Yes, in some cases. Many private engineering and arts colleges in Kerala also accept direct admission based on Class 12 marks under management quota. However, top government colleges and NITs strictly need KEAM or JEE scores, so check each college's own admission rule.
