My son got 88.4 %in 12 th STD in CBSE pattern ,Is it possible to get the admission in Sastra Tanjore - branch preferred CSE,ECE and EEE JEE Main score : 61.7 NTA

Ans: Muralidharan Sir, Your son's academic profile with 88.4% CBSE marks and 61.7 NTA percentile in JEE Main presents challenging admission prospects for preferred branches CSE, ECE, and EEE at SASTRA University, as these competitive programs typically require Class 12 marks above 94-95% and JEE Main percentiles exceeding 80-85 for realistic admission chances. The calculated Stream 1 combined score of 81.825 falls below typical cutoff requirements, while Stream 2 admission based solely on normalized Class 12 marks offers marginally better prospects though still uncertain for premier branches. SASTRA University's strong academic reputation with NIRF ranking #38 in Engineering, solid placement record of 86.3% with Rs 7.50 LPA median packages, and established industry connections make it an attractive option despite admission challenges. Recommendation: Apply to SASTRA University targeting EEE as the most viable option among preferred branches while simultaneously considering alternative engineering disciplines like Mechanical or Civil Engineering that have more accessible cutoff requirements, and explore Stream 2 admission pathway leveraging the 88.4% Class 12 performance for better prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
