Eligibility Criteria for SASTRA University B.Optom. Admission 2019

  • A Pass in the +2 examination in a single sitting in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics or Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology from recognised State Board / Central Board or any other Board accepted by SASTRA as equivalent to 10+2, with a minimum aggregate of 60% marks in all subjects
  • HSC candidates should not have completed 19 years as on 01st July 2019

 

Selection Process

  • Admission to the B.Optom. programme will be based on NEET 2019 scores and normalized +2 marks. The weightage for NEET scores and +2 marks will be 25% & 75% respectively. The aggregate NEET score and normalized +2 aggregate will be taken together as per the weightage and applicants will be ranked based on the resultant combined score.
  • For example: If a student secures a NEET 2019 Score of 185 and a normalized +2 aggregate of 95 percentile, the combined score of the student will be (0.25*185) + (0.75*95) = 117.5
  • The combined score of a student will be used to determine the SASTRA Rank and admission will be based on the SASTRA Rank secured.
  • 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 or its equivalent aggregate 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 is 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). If a student did not appear for NEET 2019, he/she will be eligible with 75% weightage on +2 aggregate alone.
  • Applicants will be called for counselling based on the combined score
