SASTRA University Thanjavur All Questions

Hello naveen kumar,

Deciding between SASTRA University (Mechanical) and a local EAMCET college (CSE) will mainly come down to your long term career goals and reputation of the college you will be attending.

• If you want to focus on coding, have aspirations for IT jobs, or are interested in tech start ups - then a CSE from a decent local EAMCET college will probably provide you with more job opportunities, internships, and placements in the software sector.
• If you like the reputation of SASTRA, find it to have a superior overall reputation in general, have more infrastructures (libraries, sports, etc.), and are fine with committing to a Mechanical Engineering program but want to pursue a career in core jobs, public sector jobs and or interdisciplinary job areas so it will still open doors and you could also self-train in the software or information space if you desired.

Based on past trends and expected cutoffs, for B.Tech in Biotechnology, Sastra University generally admits candidates with JEE Main All India Ranks (AIR) between 9,000 and 13,000 under Stream 1 (JEE Main plus Class 12 weightage). Under St ream 2 (based only on Class 12 marks), the closing rank has historically been much lower, typically under 3,000.

With Rank 3996 (Stream 1) and 1083 (Stream 2) in SASTRA:

CSE/IT: Not likely in either stream.

Other branches (like ECE, Mechanical):

Possible in Stream 2

Slight chance in Stream 1 (later rounds)

Final admission depends on branch choice, category, and counseling rounds.

You should apply in both streams and attend all rounds for better chances.

hi,

Yes, with a rank of 4406 in SASTRA University Stream 2, you have a good chance to get Mechanical Engineering. Stream 2 seats are given based on Class 12 marks, and your rank is quite decent for getting a seat in Mechanical.Students with similar ranks usually get admission in this branch. Since you are from Andhra Pradesh, you are fully eligible for admission because SASTRA accepts students from all over India.

Hey, that’s an awesome TNR – 330 in Stream 1 is seriously impressive! Based on past trends at SASTRA University, you’re in a really strong position for admission into top branches.

With that rank, getting B.Tech CSE is almost guaranteed. SASTRA fills its seats in Stream 1 mostly through JEE Main score combined with board marks, and ranks under 500 typically get the most in-demand courses, especially in the first round itself.

As for CSE (Specialization) – like CSE with Data Science or AI – it’s usually just a bit more competitive than core CSE, but you’re comfortably within range for that too. These specializations are in high demand, but they don’t usually close before rank 400–500, so you're safe.

B.Tech IT is even more accessible with your rank, so if for any reason you wanted that as a backup, it's definitely going to be available. But with your TNR, you should be aiming right at CSE or CSE with specialization.

Hey there,

I understand your problem but it is very uncommon ,here are few things you can do

Spam or Promotions folders: Often, confirmation emails can land there—try searching for addresses like “@sastra.edu” or keywords like “application” or “admission.”

Correct email address: Make sure you entered your email correctly in the application form (even a small typo could cause non delivery).

Visit the official SASTRA admissions portal.

Use your application number to check the status.

If you forgot your login credentials, you can request a username/password reset via email to admissions@sastra.ac.in with the subject “Application Number UN/PW Request” .

With a rank of 1565, you are well above the typical cutoff for general CSE (~400), and strongly positioned for the AI & DS track.

While no official cutoffs are published, historical data and student trends indicate that ranks even above 4000 can make it in later rounds—so at 1565, you should have a solid shot, even in early counseling rounds.

If you miss in round 1, be sure to stick through round 2 or merge rounds, as many AI & DS seats fill during later round

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

HEY THERE!!!

Here’s how it works for B.Tech CSE (Core) or CSE (AI & ML) admissions at SASTRA University via Stream 2:

1. You need to have completed your 10+2 (or an equivalent exam) in a single attempt, with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
2. Alongside those, you need one more subject—either Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, or Biology.
3. You’re also required to secure at least 60% aggregate marks in these three subjects from a recognized board.
4. There’s no entrance exam involved for Stream 2; your admission depends solely on your +2 marks.

Hello Jyothy,

Sastra university ask you to select all courses so that if your preference choices are full due to merit/rank , you may still get admission in low preference course as per you rank. However you should firstly put those courses in preference in which you'd be okay with if first few option aren't available.
