About SASTRA University

SASTRA University is a UGC-recognised deemed-to-be university in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu (Tirumalaisamudram, Thanjavur). As a deemed university it admits to its engineering programmes on its own terms rather than through Tamil Nadu’s TNEA counselling, and it awards its own degrees.

Engineering branches offered

These 21 branches appear on SASTRA University’s own programme and admissions pages, read on 2026-09-09. Universities open and retire branches between sessions, so confirm the current list on their site before you apply.

How admission works

Entrance route detected on their own site: SASTRA’s own admission process, on +2 marks.

Apply directly to the university. Deemed universities run their own application windows, which typically open months before the state counselling and close earlier than students expect.
Sit the entrance test, or submit your marks. Depending on the university this is its own entrance examination, a JEE Main score, or direct admission on your +2 marks.
Attend the counselling / choice-filling that the university itself runs and accept a branch.
Pay the fee and complete document verification within the university’s own deadline to hold the seat.

Because each university runs its own timetable, a student applying to several deemed universities is juggling several calendars at once. Put every deadline in one place before you start — missed windows, not marks, are what usually costs a seat here.

Eligibility, in general

Deemed universities set their own eligibility, but the shape of it is the same almost everywhere:

A pass in 10+2 (or an equivalent examination) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the core subjects. Some universities accept Biology or Computer Science in place of Chemistry for particular branches.
A minimum aggregate, usually stated across PCM rather than overall, and relaxed for SC/ST candidates. The exact number differs by university and sometimes by branch, so take it from the university’s own admissions page rather than from any third-party summary.
The entrance route — either the university’s own entrance examination, a JEE Main score, or direct admission on your +2 marks. Several accept more than one.
Age is rarely a barrier at deemed universities, but a small number set an upper limit.

A deemed university is not TNEA. These seats are not allotted through Tamil Nadu’s single-window counselling. You apply to each university separately, on its own calendar, and you can hold offers from several at once. That also means no common merit list and no common fee — compare the total four-year cost, not the first-year figure.

Fees and cut-offs

We do not publish fee figures or cut-offs for deemed universities. Both are set by each university, revised every session, and differ by branch and by admission route — a stale number here would cost you more than a missing one. Take them from SASTRA University’s own admissions page (https://www.sastra.edu/), or ask us and we will check the current position with the university for you.
