Hii There,

Since previous cutoffs have closed at 2,100, it is extremely unlikely that someone with a rank of 17,500 in the SASTRA rank list will be accepted into core bio-oriented engineering programs like the B.Tech in Bioengineering.  You might, however, choose a different discipline and pursue bio-related topics through electives or minor specialties, or you could look into similar possibilities like integrated M.Tech programs in Biotechnology or Medical Nanotechnology.  For information on other options or course availability in subsequent rounds, it is preferable to contact SASTRA admissions.

If you have any other question, please feel free to ask. I hope this answers your question.

Thanks
