I have got 44.6% number in pcm . Can i take admission any engineering col in india?

You will have to appear for the entrance exam to apply for the admission in any engineering college. There are national level exams and the state level exams.

AIEEE and IIT-JEE were the national level entrance exams till 2012. The AIEEE was for All India 15 percent quota while IIT-JEE was for admission in Indian Institutes of Technology.

However now both the exams have been scrapped and replaced with a new one called Joint Entrance Exam (JEE). This exam is conducted for all the purposes for which AIEEE and IIT-JEE were conducted.

Then there are state level entrance exams. For example Guj CET is for Gujarat. Similarly UPSEE is conducted for Uttar Pradesh.

There has been an attempt by the Union Minister of Human Resources and Development to bring all the states under JEE. Already some states like Maharashtra has scrapped its entrance exam for engineering and now give admission through JEE.
