Procedure to get Admission

For B.Tech programmes 70% of the total seats will be filled by SASTRA based on the qualifying +2 exam marks following the process of normalization. To bring all candidates from different examining Authorities / Boards in the same scale of comparison and to create a list in the order of merit, the +2 marks will be normalized. A first rank student of each board is considered to have obtained 100% mark and aggregate mark of all other students of the board are normalized with reference to that of the first rank student. For example, if the first rank is 97% and an applicant’s aggregate is 90% then the applicant’s normalized percentage is 92.78 (90/97 x 100). A merit list is drawn based on the normalized percentage for making admissions.

“30% of the B.Tech. seats will be filled using AIEEE’2010 ranks. Candidates may separately apply to SASTRA after obtaining AIEEE-2010 ranks for which a separate rank list will be released. The last date for receiving application forms for admissions based on AIEEE-2010 will be announced shortly after ascertaining the date of AIEEE-2010 results based on which counselling dates will be fixed.
