B.Tech

These UP government colleges do accept JEE Main scores through UPTAC counselling, and have cut-offs in the range your rank can fit:

1. Govt. Engineering College, Azamgarh
Provides IT, Civil, Mechanical with seats through JEE Main/UPTAC

Closing ranks are generally in the 5,000–6,000 range for IT/Civil.

2. AKTU Affiliated Colleges (e.g., IET Lucknow, KNIT Sultanpur)
Previous CSE cut-offs:

IET Lucknow: ~30,000 closing rank

At a very disappointing score in JEE Mains percentile, it is best to ready oneself to target those colleges in Uttar Pradesh which either offer direct admissions, or whose admission process is controlled by their self-counseling system (as in most colleges), in which admission will be secured on the basis of 12 th board marks or a college specific entrance test. Among the alternatives with rather lesser fees and wider admission standards one may mention G.L. Bajaj Institute of Technology and Management (Mathura/Greater Noida), Noida Institute of Engineering and Technology (NIET) Greater Noida, ABES Engineering College Ghaziabad, KIET Group of Institutions Ghaziabad, as well as some of the campuses of the United Group of Institutions (Allahabad/Greater Noida).

To obtain an affordable B.Tech preferably, apply to institutions that are funded by the government like, state universities and colleges since their fees are considerably cheaper than the majority of other privately owned institutions. Jadavpur University (Kolkata), Jamia Millia Islamia (New Delhi) and College of Engineering, Pune (COEP Technological University) are some of the outstanding examples that offer extremely low fees. Many NITs and GFTIs as well are quite competitive in comparison with top ranked private universities. You can it more cost effective as you explore college options in your home state that utilize the state-level entrance exams.
