SASTRA (Deemed to be University) Thanjavur Answered Questions

It depends upon the competition and number of students applied. For the academic year 2022-2023 students who got above 985 & above got seat in CSE and ECE departments. Last year it was really tough! Students with 985 to 986 Got ECE mechanical EEE and IT. The cutoff for CSE was 987 and above
This year I think the cutoff for CSE will be 988 or may be more.

As you have mentioned that you have got 98% in boards and taking into consideration that you have secured 88 percentile in JEE Mains, so let me tell you sastra University doesn't have any cut off as a merit list will be prepared by the college authorities. On the basis of this merit list you would be admitted to the college. 70% weightage is given to JEE Mains and 30% weightage was given to 12th boards. Furthermore it depends on certain factors like number of candidates appearing in the examination, number of vacant seats in college, difficulty level of JEE Mains paper.

There is no such criteria (minimum JEE marks) for admission in to SASTRA university. SASTRA university has a separate procedure through stream 1 and stream 2 .
Stream 1
70 percent seats of every branch are filled through stream 1 based on 12 th percentage ( 75 percent after normalisation ) + JEE mains score ( 25 percent )
For example
12 th percentage - 88 (CBSE) and JEE mains score is 80 .
Normalised percentage of board would be as follows
88 * 100/98.6 = 89.25
(Assuming percentage of topper is 98.6 )
Now 89.25 * 0.75 + 80 * 0.25 =86.94
This is your final score . AIR (SASTRA) is prepared based on this final score . There is a chance AIR up to 4000 .
If someone is a topper of board exam and his JEE mains score is 40 then final score would be 85 and AIR (SASTRA) would be above 5000 . It proves that there is no chance for JEE mains score below 40 in stream 1 .
Stream 2 .
30 percent seats of every branch are filled through stream 2 based on 12 th percentage .
There is very less chance for percentage below 95 in stream 2 .
I know your chances are less but your intermediate marks is good so you still stand a chance to get admission through stream 1.

Definitely, you will get into 2nd campus and it depends on the lower rank candidates, if they chose main campus you're not able to get that otherwise you can and it is the best college for CSE AI am you can always get good placements. All the best.
