Hey, that’s an awesome TNR – 330 in Stream 1 is seriously impressive! Based on past trends at SASTRA University, you’re in a really strong position for admission into top branches.

With that rank, getting B.Tech CSE is almost guaranteed. SASTRA fills its seats in Stream 1 mostly through JEE Main score combined with board marks, and ranks under 500 typically get the most in-demand courses, especially in the first round itself.

As for CSE (Specialization) – like CSE with Data Science or AI – it’s usually just a bit more competitive than core CSE, but you’re comfortably within range for that too. These specializations are in high demand, but they don’t usually close before rank 400–500, so you're safe.

B.Tech IT is even more accessible with your rank, so if for any reason you wanted that as a backup, it's definitely going to be available. But with your TNR, you should be aiming right at CSE or CSE with specialization.

SASTRA's Stream 1 admissions are based on a combination of JEE Main scores and +2 marks, with a weightage of 25% and 75% respectively.

With a SASTRA AIR of 13k and a Tamil Nadu rank of 5k, you are in a competitive range.

You should monitor the official SASTRA counseling and rank lists to get a clearer picture.

Looking at past trends in NEET counseling in Tamil Nadu:For Government Medical Colleges (GMC):

If you belong to the OBC category, it's typical for the cutoff to be over 500 marks. Given that you have 452 marks and an All India Rank of 118583, getting a seat in a Government Medical College under the state quota for OBC seems quite difficult.

For Private Medical Colleges (Management Quota or State Quota):With 452 marks, there might be a chance for your son at private medical colleges under the state quota, particularly in self-financed ones. The cutoff scores for these colleges tend to be lower compared to government colleges, and the OBC reservation can help increase the chances.

Estimating State Quota Rank (Tamil Nadu):With an All India Rank of 118583, the State Rank for OBC in Tamil Nadu might be around 5000-7000 based on previous years. However, this can change depending on how students perform this year and how many apply.

HEY THERE!!!

With a NEET 2025 score of 252, prospects for securing an MBBS seat in deemed universities in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, or Pondicherry—even under the management quota— are exceedingly slim .

Typically, the cutoff for such institutions hovers well above 400 or even 500 marks.

A score in the lower range may make you eligible for B-category seats in certain private colleges, but realistically, gaining admission to MBBS programs in deemed universities within these states is not feasible with 252 marks.
