B.E. refers to Bachelor of Engineering and same is a professional bachelor degree course of four years after completing which one heads towards becoming an engineer.

The minimum educational qualification required for pursuing B.E. degree course from a AICTE approved college offering a reasonable job placement is a higher secondary school degree with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects with at least 45% marks in PCM from a recognized board of education.

So having completed your Class 12th with only 38% marks in PCM you are not eligible for pursuing B.E. degree course from a AICTE approved college and hence in my advice if you are interested in pursuing B.E. degree course then your should reappear in your Class 12th board examination to secure much better aggregate in your Class 12th. Also you should appear and do well in engineering entrance examinations like JEE, State EEE, BITSAT, VITEEE, etc. to get admission in good engineering colleges offering quality education and job placements.

BE stands for Bachelor of Engineering.

The academic qualification required for this examination is that candidate must have done 10+2 from any recognized board. The minimum percentage of marks required to apply for this examination is 75% in board examination or you must be in top 20 percentile in board examination.

You are not eligible for entrance exams like Joint Entrance Examination for admission in Bachelor of Engineering.

Yes, you are eligible to apply for admission to B.E course after scoring 38% marks in your 12th standard PCM stream from a Government recognized board. Candidates who have passed 12th standard or an equivalent examination with PCM stream from a Government recognised board are eligible to pursue B.E course. To get admission in B.E course, you have to appear in National or State or University level engineering entrance examinations like JEE, EAMCET, etc., and participate in the counselling process to get a seat for pursuing B.E course.

B.E./B.Tech refers to Bachelor of Engineering / Bachelor of Technology and same is a professional undergraduate degree course of four years after completing which one heads towards becoming an engineer.

Further the minimum educational qualification required for pursuing B.E. degree course from AICTE ( All India Council for Technical Education ) approved engineering college is a higher secondary school degree with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects with at least 45% marks in it from a recognized board.
