hi,

With 976 marks in IPE and a 70 percentile in JEE Mains, you do have a fair chance of getting a seat in Mechanical Engineering at SASTRA University. SASTRA mainly considers both JEE Mains scores and 12th board marks in their admission process. Since your IPE score is quite strong, it can work in your favour.

Usually, SASTRA uses a combined merit system where 12th marks and JEE Mains percentiles are balanced. For Mechanical Engineering, the closing scores are generally not as high as branches like CSE or ECE, so your chances look reasonably good.

hi,

If you have scored 976 marks in IPE and got 70 percentile in JEE Mains, it might be quite difficult to get a seat in Mechanical Engineering at SASTRA University. Usually, SASTRA gives admission based on high JEE ranks or top scores in IPE, and the cutoffs for most branches, especially Mechanical, are generally much better than a 70 percentile rank. Your JEE rank may be on the higher side, which makes it tough to get into SASTRA in the first round
