Hello there,

Based on your scores:

  • Tamil Nadu Board Score: 490/600 (≈81.6%)

  • JEE Main Percentile: 82.2%

Here’s your chance of admission into SASTRA University (Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy) :

Admission Process at SASTRA:

  1. Stream 1 (70% Seats): Based on JEE Main score + Class 12 normalized marks .

  2. Stream 2 (30% Seats): Based only on Class 12 marks .

    Your Chances:

  1. Stream 1:

    • With a JEE percentile of 82.2% and good board marks, you have a moderate to good chance of getting a seat in branches like EEE, ECE, Mechanical , etc.

    • CSE or AIML may be more competitive but not impossible in later rounds.

  2. Stream 2:

    • With 490/600 , you have a strong profile for mid-level branches.

      Tips:

  • Apply under both streams .

  • Be flexible with branches like ECE, EEE, Mechatronics .

  • Watch for spot rounds or sliding options .


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to ask. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank You and wishing you a bright future ahead.

First of all Congratulations on your scores!

To evaluate your chances of getting a seat at SASTRA University , it's important to consider both your Tamil Nadu board score (490/600) and your JEE main score (82.2%).

Here are the guidelines:

SASTRA University Admission Criteria:

SASTRA University, located in Tamil Nadu, offers admission to various undergraduate courses, including B.Tech (engineering) and B.Arch , based on a combination of:

  1. Marks in 10+2 (Board Examination) : Your 12th board exam marks are taken into consideration.
  2. JEE Main Score : Many candidates apply through JEE Main scores.
  3. SASTRA University Entrance Exam : For some courses, SASTRA conducts its own entrance exam, though they also accept JEE Main scores.

Admission Process:

  • B.Tech Admission : For B.Tech admissions, SASTRA University considers either the JEE Main score or the marks from 12th Board exams (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics marks).

Typically, the admission is based on a combination of :


    • Board exam marks (Class 12) in relevant subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics).
    • JEE Main score .

SASTRA also releases cut-off ranks for each course every year, and these are based on the demand for that particular branch and the number of seats available.

Considering Your Scores:

  • Tamil Nadu Board Score (490/600) : Your score corresponds to about 81.67% in your board exams. While it's a good score, it may be on the lower end for some of the more competitive branches (like Computer Science or Electronics). However, for less competitive branches, it could be enough.
  • JEE Score (82.2%) : The percentage translates to a decent JEE score . While 82.2% is a competitive score, it may be slightly below the cut-off for some of the top branches (like Computer Science or Mechanical) at SASTRA. Still, it might work for other engineering branches with lower cut-offs.


Check SASTRA’s Previous Year Cut-offs : The cut-off ranks for various branches of B.Tech are typically released after the counseling process. You can review the previous year's data to see if your scores are competitive for your desired course.

  • Contact the Admissions Office : Since you’re close to the cutoff range, it might be helpful to reach out directly to SASTRA’s admissions office for guidance. They may offer specific advice or let you know about any special considerations for your case.

While your JEE score and board marks may make you eligible for certain branches at SASTRA University , it largely depends on the course you’re applying for and the competition this year. For popular branches, you may need to score higher in JEE or have better marks in 12th.

I recommend checking the cut-off trends and reaching out to the SASTRA admissions office for more personalized guidance.

Best of Luck !
