not gonna sugarcoat this — 60 percentile in JEE Main is not enough for PEC Chandigarh. not even close unfortunately.

PEC is one of the top govt institutes in Punjab. even the lower branches like Civil and Chemical close around 92–93 percentile. CSE is 98+. at 60 percentile (rough rank ~3,50,000+) you're outside the range for any branch at PEC.

what you CAN realistically target with 60 percentile:

  • NITs in lower demand branches via later rounds (NIT Mizoram, NIT Sikkim, NIT Manipur etc.)
  • state govt colleges via your state counseling (OJEE, KCET, MHT-CET etc. — cutoffs there are very different)
  • private colleges like Chitkara, Chandigarh University, LPU etc.

key thing — check your state-specific counseling portal. don't limit yourself to JoSAA only at 60 percentile, that's where most people miss out on decent options. state counseling has way more seats at this rank.
