However, you can still get admission in some good private colleges for B.Tech in Computer Science. Your 10th and 12th marks are decent, and many private colleges have their own entrance exams or offer direct admission based on board marks or JEE score. Look into colleges like LNCT, UPES, VIT (if you gave their exam), or Amity.
