HELLO,

Yes, with a score of 983 out of 1000 (98.3%), you have a strong chance of getting a free seat in core branches (like CSE, ECE, etc.) at SASTRA University, especially under Stream 2 admissions.

• Stream 2 Admission (30% of seats): Based only on Class 12 marks  no JEE score needed.

• SASTRA uses a normalization process, and a 98.3% score is considered excellent.

• Based on past trends, students with marks above 97–98% often secure free seats in core branches through Stream 2.

• For Stream 1 (70% seats), JEE Main + Class 12 marks are considered. Your admission chance is still good if you also have a decent JEE score.

So, with 983 marks, your chances are very good, especially if you apply early.
