With a JEE Mains percentile of 73.4 and a TNEA cutoff of 172 (MBC), getting AI and Data Science at top universities like SASTRA or Amrita in Tamil Nadu is challenging. SASTRA's cutoff for CSE and realetd branches are much higher, often requiring a much better JEE rank or a higher +2 aggregate. However, you can still apply through Stream 2 at SASTRA (based on +2 marks), but competition is tough. Consider applying to other private universities in Tamil Nadu such as SRM University, Sathyabama University, and Vel Tech, which accept JEE Main scores and where cutoffs may be more flexible for your scores.
