Today my wife visited SASTRA Polytechnic for my son's admission. My son studied CBSE curriculum in Dubai. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The admission team was not even interested to talk properly. They refused admission saying they don't take students who studied CBSE abroad. I was surprised because NRI quota admissions are generally available in many institutions, but they told me even other state students are not considered here.When we asked about facilities, they informed clearly:- No college bus service.- No hostel facility for Polytechnic students.I feel this is difficult for students coming from other places. Also, the staff's attitude was not helpful. A polite explanation would have been appreciated.Not sure if it's true that no other state students are admitted, but this rigid approach is disappointing.Summary:- No admission for CBSE (Abroad) students.- No NRI quota considered.- No bus facility.- No hostel facility.- Poor response from admission team.It would be better if SASTRA Polytechnic officially publishes these rules on their website to avoid confusion for parents and students.

Yes, you can pursue Computer Science Engineering (CSE) with a specialisation at Sastra University. The university offers various branches and specializations within the CSE department, which might include areas like Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, and others, depending on the course offerings at the time.To get CSE, you would typically need to meet the eligibility requirements, including:Academic Qualifications: A minimum of 50% (or as per the current criteria) in your higher secondary education with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects.Entrance Exams: The university conducts an entrance exam called Sastra University Engineering Entrance Exam (SUEE). Alternatively, you can also get admission based on your JEE Main score or your 12th board exam performance, depending on the specific admission guidelines for the year.

One must obtain a minimum of 60% aggregate in Class 12th exam. Admissions to 70% of the seats will be based on the merit rank obtained by giving 50% weightage to normal aggregate Class XII Marks and 50% weightage to JEE Main scores through institutional counselling. Your IPE score is pretty good and that weights 50% in counselling so you have a good chance in getting seat but in CSE it will be difficult.

SASTRA considers both your JEE Main score and your +2 marks for admission. They have two criteria: Stream 1 (70% seats): A combination of your JEE Main score (25%) and +2 marks (75%) is used.Stream 2 (30% seats): Only your +2 marks are considered.
