With an 87 percentile in JEE Mains, you can expect a rank around 1.5 to 1.7 lakh. This score opens doors to some NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology), particularly those with lower rankings. You can also explore options in state government colleges and private universities through their respective counseling processes. 

Yes, you have a good chance of getting a CSE-related branch in some NITs and IIITs through JOSAA counseling with an EWS rank of 68730 and a CRL of 512048. While your CRL rank is lower, your EWS rank will be considered during seat allocation, giving you a better chance at getting into your preferred programs. 

Several colleges in Bangalore offer Biomedical Engineering programs. Some of the prominent ones include: BMS College of Engineering, Ramaiah Institute of Technology (RIT), Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE), ACS College of Engineering, and Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology (RGIT). Additionally, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) also offers Biomedical Engineering through its affiliated colleges.

With a JEE Main rank of 438280, securing a seat in a top government B.Tech college in Delhi is highly unlikely. The cutoff ranks for popular branches like Computer Science in top institutions like Delhi Technological University (DTU) and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-D) are typically much lower. However, you might have a chance in other government colleges or in less competitive branches within Delhi, or in other states with lower cutoffs. 

UPES Dehradun can be a worthwhile option for a B.Tech in CSE, particularly if you prioritize specialised programs and industry-focused learning. While the cost is higher compared to some government institutions, UPES offers a wide array of specializations within CSE and strong industry connections, which can lead to good placement opportunities.
