Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

HEY THERE!!

With 967 IPE marks and 90 percentile in JEE Mains, you have a very high probability of getting a CSE core seat in SASTRA University through the usual merit-based admission process.

Admission Process at SASTRA

  1. Stream 1 (70% seats): It is conducted on a combined score: 75% weightage to your Class 12 (IPE) marks and 25% weightage to your JEE Main score.
  2. Stream 2 (30% seats): Only on Class 12 (IPE) marks.

Your Chances

  • Recent times student reports and expert answers indicate that above 900 IPE marks and a good JEE Main percentile (generally above 85–90) are generally sufficient to obtain a CSE seat in SASTRA.
  • SASTRA's CSE cutoff is likely to be tough, but your 967/1000 in IPE and 90 percentile in JEE Main are strong for the CSE core, especially in Stream 1.
  • Last year's cutoff every year is based on the set of candidates, but your profile is on or above the average admitted student profile for CSE.

Conclusion:

With your marks, you have a strong possibility of securing a CSE core seat at SASTRA University, though allotment will finally be made depending on the competition that year and the availability of seats. Attempt to apply through both streams to maximize chances.

Dear candidate,

You have 93 percentile in AEEE and 92.9 percentile in JEE Main, so there is a strong chance of getting admission in several branches such as :

  1. ECE
  2. EEE
  3. CSE in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, especially under Group B (higher fee).

Admission for CSE at coimbatore is competitive but there is a chance if you are from home state.

All the best!


HEY THERE!!!

On your marks-56% in JEE Main and 88% in CBSE Board (Tamil Nadu)-you are eligible to apply for the B.Tech. in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) at SASTRA University, Thanjavur, but a seat for the course will be allotted based on the combined merit and competition.

VLSI Course Prospects

  1. Admission is merit-based; there is no cut-off marks-it depends on the pool of candidates each year.
  2. For competitive streams like VLSI, the combined marks in boards are typically higher.
  3. With 88% boards, you have a good opportunity, especially through Stream 2 (on the basis of marks in boards only).
  4. In case you have a poor JEE percentile, you have a better chance through Stream 2.

Summary

You are eligible and stand a good chance for VLSI course in SASTRA Thanjavur, especially under Stream 2 with your good board marks. Admission is not guaranteed but depends on the merit list and competition annually. Apply early and monitor the official releases for counselling and rank lists.

HEY THERE!!!

With 978/1000 in Class 12th (98%) and 80.9 percentile in JEE Mains, you have a very high chance of getting Computer Science Engineering (CSE) with specialization at SASTRA University, Thanjavur.

How SASTRA Admission Works

  1. Stream 1: 70% of seats are filled based on a combined merit score (75% weightage to Class 12 marks + 25% weightage to JEE Main percentile).
  2. Stream 2: 30% of seats are filled based solely on Class 12 marks

Your Chances

  • Your Class 12 mark (978/1000) is good and will place you high in the merit list.
  • Your JEE Main percentile (80.9) is average and combined with your excellent board marks puts your overall merit score in competition.
  • Recent trends suggest that 95%+ board students and 75–85 percentile students in JEE Main have achieved CSE and its specializations at SASTRA, especially during the later rounds or through Stream 2

Conclusion

You are likely to receive CSE with specialization from SASTRA University through Stream 1 or Stream 2 because of your good board marks and average JEE Main percentile. Final allotment depends on competition and availability of seats, but your profile is very competitive to receive CSE and its specializations in SASTRA.

Hii,

A few key documents are required for JEE. Your admit card, which grants you entry to the exam room, comes first. To prove who you are, you also need identification, such as your school ID or Aadhar card. To prove your age, your birth certificate is required.

Your class 12 grade report is required as documentation of your education. A category certificate is necessary if you fall under one of the reserved categories, such as SC, ST, or OBC. Keep these with you on test day.
