How can you expect engineering still now? Don't think that everything is engineering. Success has infinite sources. So, change your thought and step towards your passion and interest in which you never fail whether it is small or big.

No, you can't get admission in any college until you clear your class 12th. So you will have to reappear in the exams and pass in them all then only you will be eligible to get admission in any college.

After getting failed in 3 subjects in 12th that too from science then how can you even expect to do engineering this year? You should leave the thought of engineering after getting failed in 3 subjects. Just go on something else. But first of all clear your 3 subjects and all the best.

NIOS will be the best option. And I personally know a few who did reach from 0 to 100. Good luck.

You need to clear 12th with minimum 65% aggregate in PCM and also need to appear in JEE at least.

If you think that engineering is easy then you are wrong. You can get admission but it would have no value because you have already failed in 3 subjects and in engineering there are great chances to get supplementary.
