JEE

Hello, Sardar Patel College of Engineering is a government institute. Approximate cut off for:
General-170
OBC-150
SC-70
So it will be tough for you to get this college with your JEE score.

Chandigarh College of Architecture is a prestigious college and there are only a couple of seats there for outside quota.
You have to score something above 265 to secure a seat there through JEE B.Arch paper. This may not be possible for you to take admission in this college.

Hello,
LD College of Engineering presently offers BE courses in multiple disciplines.
Admission to BE courses is given on the basis of common entrance test (GUJCET).
Candidates applying for BE seats should've passed at 10+2 level from a recognized board.

No, don't drop a year just for JEE Mains. Drop only if you are targeting JEE Advance and if you want IITs. Still if you are confident enough that you can do very well in JEE Mains next year and are sure to get top NITs, then only drop the year otherwise it's a waste of time.

If you want to qualify JEE Mains then it is not necessary to take coaching. But if you are targeting JEE Advance and have taken a year's drop for only IITs then you should go for coaching. Preparation for JEE Mains is not that difficult. It just requires consistency and sitting hours. Focus thoroughly on class 11th and 12th.

With the marks in JEE it's quite difficult to find a seat in colleges like SPA, NIT, Jamia Millia Islamia or Chandigarh College of Architecture but you may try your luck with CEPT Ahmedabad.

Last year, the final cut-off was in the range of 250 to 290.
The cut-off generally varies according to the competition and toughness of paper each year.
Keep trying. Best of luck for your future career endeavours.
