hi,
With 986 in your AP board and an 82.74 percentile in JEE Mains, getting CSE at SASTRA University can be a bit tough but not impossible.
For Stream 1, which considers both JEE and board marks, the cutoff for CSE is usually higher, so your JEE percentile might be a little low for it. But since your board marks are strong, you have a good chance in Stream 2, which is based mainly on board marks.
It’s best to apply for both streams and keep an eye on the official cutoffs. Also, consider related branches like IT or ECE just in case.
Hope this helps!
