The admission cut off system of St. Andrews Institute of Technology and Management (SAITM) is progressive and also flexible, especially among regular on-campus applicants. In contrast to institutions which base their decisions on one fixed rank or a fixed threshold of score, SAITM appraises candidates through a more inclusive approach of academic perspective.
Some of the factors, which determine cut-off expectations, include: past academic performance, subject background, program demand, entrance exam scores (where applicable), and seat availability. Consequently, cut-offs can be different in programs and even admission rounds.
In general, the first round of admission can be somewhat more demanding, whereas subsequent ones can be more relaxed based on the available vacancies.
| B.Tech Specialization | Expected Cut-Off (PCM / Equivalent) |
|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | 60-65% |
| CSE (AI / Data Science- in case offered) | 58-63% |
| Information Technology (IT) | 58–62% |
| Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) | 55-60% |
| Mechanical Engineering | 50–55% |
| Civil Engineering | 50% and above |
Cut-off figures are indicative and can change depending on the number of applicants and the profiles of the applicants (academic).
Recent admissions patterns in SAITM reflect as follows:
In general, the popularity of the program and career alignment have more effect on cut-offs than exam difficulty.
| Program | Entrance Exam / Basis | Indicative Cut-Off (General Category) | Trend (Last Few Years) |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBA | CAT | ≥ 55–60 Percentile | Stable |
| MBA | MAT | ≥ 65–70 Percentile | Stable |
| MBA | CMAT | ≥ 60–65 Percentile | Stable |
| B.Tech (CSE) | JEE Main / Merit | above 55-60% (PCM) | Unstable |
| B.Tech (IT) | JEE Main / Merit | 55-60% | Stable |
| B.Tech (Mechanical) | JEE Main / Merit | 50-55% | Stable |
| BBA | 10+2 Merit | ≥ 50% | Stable |
| BCA | 10+2 (Mathematics) | ≥ 50% | Stable |
These variables are not fixed but flexible since they vary annually.
In the case of the normal full-time applicants, the cut-off system at SAITM is generally friendly and favorable to the student. Those who have a good academic history, apply in time and have the relevant background in the subject of study are usually the ones who get admission.
Candidates whose applications do not get considered as early as possible should remember that there are later admissions, particularly in core engineering and management courses.
On balance, the cut-off system indicates that SAITM places a more strong focus on academic fittiness and balanced intake, instead of fighting off on rank.
Cut-offs require the availability of seats and a high number of applicants. Earlier rounds tend to be more competitive whereas later rounds tend to be more lenient.
No. Academic background, subject relevancy, scores at entrance examination and program demand are also taken into account.
Yes. These branches tend to be more difficult to cut-off because of the greater demand and relevance of placement.
Not necessarily. Numerous students get an opportunity to be admitted later in the rounds especially in the core engineering and management programs.
