Yes, securing 96% in your Intermediate (IPE) exams makes you a strong candidate for a seat at SASTRA University. However, the specific program and branch you can get will depend on whether you apply through Stream 1 (JEE Main) or Stream 2 (IPE only) and your performance in the respective selection criteria.

SASTRA Admission:

SASTRA University uses a two-stream admission process for B.Tech programs.

Stream 1: Based on JEE Main scores and normalized IPE marks (70% of seats).

Stream 2: Based solely on IPE marks (30% of seats).

96% in IPE:

While 96% is a strong IPE score, it may not guarantee your desired branch (like CSE or ECE) if applying through Stream 2 alone, especially given the competition for limited seats.

Recommendation:

It's recommended to apply through both streams, even if you don't have a strong JEE Main score. This increases your chances of getting a seat, especially if you have a decent JEE Main percentile.

Stream 2:

If applying through Stream 2, aim for at least 980+ IPE marks to improve your chances of getting into a top branch like CSE or ECE.

Competitive Branches:

Highly competitive branches like CSE and ECE require a higher SASTRA rank, typically under 500. While 96% in IPE is good, achieving a higher score (980+) and potentially a decent JEE Main score will significantly boost your chances of getting a seat in these branches.

Hello,

Yes, with 96% in your Intermediate (IPE), you have a very good chance of getting a seat at SASTRA University, especially under their merit-based admission system.

SASTRA University offers admission through two streams:

Stream 1 :

• Based on a combination of JEE Main score (25%) and 12th board marks (75%).

• 70% of the seats are filled under this stream.

Stream 2:

• Based only on your 12th board marks (like your 96% in IPE).

• 30% of the seats are filled through this route.

Since you have a strong IPE score, you can definitely apply through Stream 2, and you have a good chance of getting admission, especially in core branches like ECE, EEE, or Civil. For high-demand branches like CSE, competition may be tougher, but your percentage is still competitive.

If you also wrote JEE Main, then applying through both streams is even better it gives you more chances to get in.
