SASTRA (Deemed to be University) Thanjavur Answered Questions

Hello Chithkala,
Anna University and its top 10 affiliated colleges are better for engineering. The main campus of Anna University and MIT campus are better than Sastra University.
Sastra University is better than some of the colleges but not better than the top ones like PSG etc.
But, I think with this score you can surely have a seat at Sastra University and you have low chances to get a good college from Anna University.
In Sastra University, they consider the overall percentage, so that with a percentage of 98.7 marks, you can surely have a seat. In case of Anna University, you need to go for other state quota, where the seats are less I think.

Hello Sashank!
Yes, you can get a seat at Sastra University. Your marks are good enough get a seat and think you can also get ECE branch for sure.
Those who have appeared for JEE main exam can apply to Sastra University through stream 1.
Your marks will be converted into percentile as below:
95(0.25)+95.2(0.75)=95.15
On this basis, the ranks will be put. I think the counselling starts from 19 June.
The website to apply is www.sastra.edu and the last date to apply is June 10. You also need to send a courier of your application form, 10th and 12th mark sheet (photocopy) and also the JEE score card (result page).
