Hello Navya,
As per my knowledge , T here is no such criteria ( minimum JEE marks/12th board marks) for admission in to SASTRA university . SASTRA university has a separate procedure through stream 1 and stream 2 .
IN Stream 1 -
70 percent seats of every branch are filled through stream 1 based on 12th percentage ( 75 percent after normalisation ) + JEE mains score ( 25 percent )
For example :-
12 th percentage - 88 (CBSE) and JEE mains score is 80 .
Normalised percentage of board would be as follows
88 * 100/98.6 = 89.25
( Assuming percentage of topper is 98.6 )
Now 89.25 * 0.75 + 80 * 0.25 = 86.94
This is your final score . AIR (SASTRA) is prepared based on this final score . There is a chance AIR up to 4000 .
If someone is a topper of board exam and his JEE mains score is 40 then final score would be 85 and AIR (SASTRA) would be above 5000 . It proves that t here is no chance for JEE mains score below 40 in stream 1 .
IN Stream 2 -
Second criteria includes admission on the basis of boards marks only. But it has only 30% of seats , so for this criteria u should be having 95 or 95+ for securing your seat as in this criteria competition may be very tough.
(Note:- merit list of both criteria is prepared diffrently .)
Hope it helps.
All the best.
Cheers !!!

There are 2 streams for selection in SASTRA.
Through stream 1:70% Seats
25% Weightage of Jeemain Marks+ 75% Weightage of marks scored in 10+2 equivalent.
Combined scores will be used to prepare the rank list.
Your combined score will be (0.25*84)+(0.75*96)=93
You will get qualified through this stream.
Through Stream 2: 30% Seats
Weightage of marks scored in 10+2 equivalent is taken under consideration.
You can try applying in this stream also.
All the best dear. :)
