Have a question related to SASTRA University Thanjavur ?

i got 978/1000 in class 12th in ap board and 80.9 in jee mains can i get cse seat in sastra university and in which stream

You scored 978 out of 1000 in your 12th board exams and have an 80.9 percentile in JEE Mains. SASTRA University offers admission in two ways: one based on a combination of JEE rank and board marks, and the other based only on board marks. Since your JEE rank might be a bit low for Computer Science through the combined way, your excellent board marks give you a good chance to get a seat in CSE or related streams through the board marks-only route. It’s a good idea to apply through both options to increase your chances.



I got jee main 73% and Tnea cut off 155 can I get cse in sastra University

With 73 percentile in JEE Main and a TNEA cutoff of 155, getting CSE at SASTRA University is difficult, as CSE is a very competitive branch and usually needs a higher score or cutoff. But don’t lose hope—you can try for other branches at SASTRA or look at other good private colleges with lower cutoffs. Keep checking official websites for counselling updates. Also, consider improving your score next time if you want a better chance at top branches like CSE.


hi,

With 983 marks in your 12th board, you have a good chance of getting a seat in the AI & Data Science course at SASTRA University, especially through Stream 2 (which considers only your board marks).

SASTRA takes around 30% of seats based on 12th marks alone, so your high score really helps. Just make sure to apply on time and keep an eye on their counseling schedule.

Good luck!
