SASTRA (Deemed to be University) Thanjavur Answered Questions

Hello, SASTRA University does not give admission on the basis of JEE Mains only it also consider the board percent which should be 95+ or minimum 90+ and in Mains 100+. They prepare their own merit list on the basis of 2 criteria:
First criteria have 70% of seats. Admissions are given by taking 25% weightage of JEE Mains and 75% of boards. Second criteria include admission on the basis of boards marks only. But it has only 30% of seats, so for this criteria, you should be having 95 or 95+ for securing your seat as in this criteria competition may be very tough. (Note:- merit list of both criteria is prepared differently).
I hope this will help you. Thank you.

Hello,
You are doing a course in deemed university but I would like to clear you that SASTRA has admissions through only three process:
1) Counselling process- With this, you could enter again into first year provided that you should have enough score. Visit www.sastra.edu for further details of admission.
2) NRI quota wherein you will enter through SASTA as a foreign candidate with full payment category.
3) As a student of Diploma with more than 95% marks, you can directly enter into SASTRA, 2nd year with high score your choice of department.
The way you have told is not possible, not only as far as SASTRA but also, for any other deemed university. But, you have an opportunity to join SASTRA and again, study from first year as I have mentioned in first command. Wish you all the best.

Hello,
First of all, congratulations. Getting seat in SASTRA University through counselling (based on board marks and JEE) is so simple if you have above 80% score but through diploma, you have a chance that you can get directly into second year as the first option or through normal counselling based on your diplomo score is the second option. As far as my opinion is concerned, first option is so difficult, even for the 95% score. So, you have a fair option of counselling process where in, you could get a fair chance of mechanical department B.Tech.
All the best.

Hello Sriram,
In SASTRA University there are two ways to get admission. One is via the combined scores of JEE main and board exam marks, while the other is only with board exam marks.
If you are not going to appear for JEE Mains then, your percentage should be 96 and above in Andhra Pradesh boards so that you may get the desired branch.

You have to attend a course conducted by SASTRA University during the summer holidays after the completion of polytechnic exams. The duration of the course would be 30 days. At the end of the course a test will be conducted. The marks in the test and your attendance during the course will be used to evaluate your candidature. Contact office for details about the course.
