  • The Admissions to various B.Tech. and 5-Year Integrated M.Tech. programmes of SASTRA (main Campus & SRC) shall be done in the following way:

    Stream 1 – JEE-Main Score & Class XII Score

    Admission to 50% of seats shall be based on normalised aggregate Class XII Scores and available JEE Main (2023) scores taken together with 50% weightage each. Seats shall be filled based on the Ranks Secured by student.

    Stream 2 – Class XII Score

    Remaining 50% of seats shall be based on the normalised aggregate Class XII score awarded by the respective boards. Rank list shall be prepared based on this aggregate score and admissions shall be made based on the rank secured.

    All students shall be considered for both streams by default. If they haven’t written JEE, in Stream 1 there will be no weightage to that part and rank will be based on Class XII scores alone. JEE is not mandatory.

    The allotment of seats to students completing schooling at Thanjavur & Trichy (20%), Tamilnadu (30%), All India (with reasonable cap for major States) remains unchanged with special provisions for NE States and other special status States/UTs.

    For all PG programmes, admissions will be made on the basis of the scores in the qualifying UG / PG degree programme.

    GATE qualified candidates will be given preference for Engineering programmes and for MBA, students with good CAT / XAT / AIMAT / CMAT / AIMCAT scores will be given preference.

    For all degree programmes in Law, admissions will be based on the CLAT 2023 Scores and +2 aggregate taken in the ratio of 25% : 75% respectively.

    Please note that in the event of any changes and unreasonable delay in exams like JEE or CLAT or CUET beyond manageable time, then the admission policy shall also be changed at the sole discretion of the university’s competent authority to ensure that there is no delay in the academic calendar.
