What happened in 2017 at Siksha O Anusandhan ? How is the placement after that scam??
31st Aug, 2020
Hello Aspirant,
It was happened in 2016 not 2017, so In the year 2016 the biggest recruiter of the season conducted the recruitment drive for the passing out batch of 2017. While the drive was in a progress they recruitment team found some (very few) students using unethical practices to clear the written exam. At the very moment they stopped the drive and left the college. With this a thunderstorm fell on the campus of the college in the evening. Every student and faculty was worried about the future of our batch. After this very few companies came for drives selecting just handful of students.
Good luck!!!

Hello,
Surely you will get admission in ITER with 2278 rank in SAAT. Your 12th class result won't affect it. So there is nothing to worry about. The college will contact you for further counseling.
I hope this will help you.
All the best !!

I got 5493 rank in saat admission test what can I expect the branch in b. tech I get
23rd Aug, 2020
SAAT stands for Siksha-O-Anusandhan University Admission Test. As in the case of most universities, the cut-off of this exam is set by the governing body Siksha-O- Anusandhan University. Still a large number of factors determine the cutoff which include the number of test takers of that year, the level of difficulty of exam, number of seats available, number of students applying for those seats, and even reservation guidelines in some cases. So the cutoffs are different for every year. Yes previous cutoffs give a pretty much good idea but it is not good to rely totally on them. Best will be to wait for the results.
Good luck!
