Siksha O Anusandhan University Admission Test

SAAT 2026 Eligibility Criteria (Before You Apply)

Check your eligibility before filling the SAAT 2026 application form. Applications from ineligible students are rejected at the scrutiny stage; verifying now saves you effort later.

Verify your programme-specific eligibility from the official SAAT 2026 information brochure at admission.soa.ac.in before submitting your form. Eligibility criteria vary by course — what applies to B.Tech does not necessarily apply to BBA or B.Sc Nursing.

How to Fill SAAT Application Form 2026

The SAAT 2026 application is entirely online and free of cost. Complete both phases below before the Round 2 portal closes today, June 6, 2026.

Phase 1: New Registration

1. Visit the official portal at https://www.admission.soa.ac.in and click "Apply Online" or "New Registration".
2. Enter your full name, date of birth, mobile number, and email ID exactly as on your Class 10 certificate.
3. Verify your mobile number using the OTP sent via SMS.
4. Set a strong password and note your Application Number — you will need it for all future logins, admit card download, and result checking.
5. Save your login credentials securely and do not share them with anyone.

Phase 2: Fill the Application Form

1. Log in using your Application Number and password at https://www.admission.soa.ac.in.
2. Select the programme(s) you wish to apply for — B.Tech, B.Pharm, BBA, B.Sc Nursing, or other eligible courses available for Round 2.
3. Fill in personal details: full name, date of birth, gender, category, nationality, and correspondence address.
4. Fill in academic details: Class 10 and 12 board name, year of passing, roll number, subjects, and marks or percentage.
5. Select your exam centre preferences in order of priority.
6. Upload your passport-size photograph and signature in JPG, JPEG, PNG, or GIF format — each file must be under 1 MB.
7. Review all details carefully — cross-check your name, date of birth, category, selected programme, and uploaded photograph before proceeding.
8. Since the application is fee-free, there is no payment step — proceed directly to submission after reviewing your form.
9. Click "Submit" and then immediately download and save the confirmation page.

Note: Submit only one application form per round. Multiple applications from the same student may lead to rejection of all submissions.

Note: Today — June 6, 2026 — is the Round 2 deadline. Do not wait until midnight. Portal traffic surges in the final hours before any exam deadline; apply early to avoid submission failures.

Download and keep your confirmation page safe — it is required for admit card download, exam entry, and counselling.

Documents Required for SAAT Application Form 2026

Keep all documents ready before you start the SAAT 2026 application. Blurry, cropped, or incorrectly formatted uploads are rejected during scrutiny and may require re-submission if a correction window is available.

Note: Upload a recent passport-size photograph with a white or light background and your face clearly visible. Do not upload edited, filtered, or retouched photographs — these are rejected during scrutiny and may invalidate your application.

Note: Original documents are not required at the application stage. Keep all originals ready for the in-person document verification round at the time of counselling and admission.

SAAT Application Fee 2026

The SAAT 2026 application fee is nil — completely free for all students across every category. There is no payment step in the application form. This makes SAAT one of the few university-level admission tests in India where the cost of applying is zero.

Because there is no fee, there is no payment gateway, no risk of a failed transaction, and nothing to be refunded. If any website or individual asks you to pay money to apply for SAAT 2026, do not pay — the official application is free, and such requests are fraudulent.

SAAT Application Form Correction 2026

SOA University permits limited corrections to submitted SAAT application forms. If you spot an error after submission, log in to the portal and use the correction facility during the window provided after the application deadline.

What You Can Correct

• Minor spelling errors in name (to match supporting documents)
• Photograph and signature re-upload if found non-compliant during scrutiny
• Exam centre preferences
• Programme preferences, within the permitted scope announced by SOA University

What You Cannot Change

• Date of birth, once confirmed at submission
• Registered mobile number and email ID (used for OTP-based login)
• Category, once submitted and locked
• Core academic details such as board name, year of passing, and roll number

A formal correction window for SAAT 2026 Round 2 has not been officially announced as of today, June 6, 2026. After the Round 2 deadline passes, check admission.soa.ac.in for any correction facility notification. The safest approach is to verify every detail carefully before you submit today.

1. Visit https://www.admission.soa.ac.in and log in with your Application Number and password.
2. Click "Application Form Correction" or the edit option on your submitted form.
3. Make the required changes and click "Save / Update".
4. Download the revised confirmation page and keep a printout for your records.

Check all details before submitting — once the correction window closes, no changes are accepted under any circumstances.

Note: Once the correction window closes, no changes are accepted under any circumstances — verify your name, date of birth, category, programme, and photograph before clicking Submit today.

The SAAT 2026 Round 2 Result is declared at admission.soa.ac.in. Siksha ’O’ Anusandhan (SOA) University has released the rank card for all students who appeared in the Round 2 exam held from June 18 to June 27, 2026. You can download your rank card by logging in with your application number and date of birth.

The rank card shows your total score out of 100, your rank, and your qualifying status across the programs you applied for. You will need it to register for e-counselling and claim a seat at SOA University.

• SAAT 2026 Round 1 and Round 2 results are both declared at admission.soa.ac.in — download your rank card now.
• Your rank card carries your name, application number, roll number, category, subject-wise and total score (out of 100), and qualifying status.
• The qualifying mark is 45 out of 100 for General category candidates; 40 out of 100 for SC, ST, OBC, and PwD candidates.
• SAAT covers B.Tech, BCA, MCA, BBA, MBA, Law programs, B.Sc Nursing, B.Sc Agriculture, B.Pharm, and BHMCT — MBBS and BDS admissions are through NEET only.
• The Mop-up Round application closes on July 4, 2026; the exam runs July 11–15, 2026.
• e-Counselling dates for Round 2 qualifiers will be announced on the portal shortly — check admission.soa.ac.in regularly.

SOA University prepares a separate merit list for each program. e-Counselling happens fully online at admission.soa.ac.in, and you choose your preferred program and campus during the online seat allotment process.

SAAT Result Previous Year Statistics

SAAT has followed a consistent multi-round format across recent years, with SOA University gradually expanding the number of rounds to give more students a chance to qualify and fill seats across its programs. The table below gives a year-on-year picture of how the exam has been structured and when results have typically been released.

SOA University does not publish year-wise candidate appearance data or qualifying rates for SAAT on its official portal. What the record shows consistently is that results come out within 5–7 days of each round’s exam ending, and counselling follows 2–3 weeks after the last round’s result — a pattern that has held across multiple cycles.

The table below reflects seat intake trends at ITER (SOA’s engineering institute), where B.Tech programs are the most-competed stream in SAAT. Demand for CSE and CSE-allied branches (AI/ML, Cyber Security, Data Science) has risen year on year, meaning you need a better rank to secure those seats compared to a few cycles ago.

The pattern across recent cycles is clear: if you want a CSE seat at ITER, Round 1 is your best shot. By Round 2, remaining CSE vacancies are limited. Programs like B.Pharm, B.Sc Agriculture, and BHMCT tend to have more seats available in later rounds.

How to Check SAAT Result 2026

The SAAT 2026 result is available only on the official SOA admission portal. SOA does not send results by email or post. There are two ways to access your result — both require your application number and registered date of birth.

Method 1: Through the Official Admission Portal

• Open admission.soa.ac.in in your browser.
• On the homepage, look for the SAAT 2026 Result link — separate links appear for Round 1 and Round 2.
• Enter your Application Number and Date of Birth in DD/MM/YYYY format as registered.
• Click Submit or Login.
• Your rank card appears on screen. Click Download or Print to save it as a PDF.

Method 2: Through the Direct Results Page

• Go directly to admission.soa.ac.in/saat-2026-results.
• Select the relevant round (Round 1 or Round 2).
• Enter your credentials, view your rank card, and download the PDF.

Save the rank card PDF to your phone and email a copy to yourself as a backup. The portal can slow down on busy days right after a result is announced, so having an offline copy means you are ready for counselling without delays.

SAAT 2026 Rank Card: Details Mentioned

The SAAT rank card is the official result document SOA University issues in place of a traditional marksheet. It is a PDF you download from the portal, and it is what you will present during e-counselling and document verification. Download it as soon as your result is live — the portal tends to slow down immediately after a result is announced, so acting quickly saves hassle.

If anything on your rank card looks wrong — your name is misspelled, date of birth is incorrect, or category is wrong — report it to SOA University right away at saat2026@soa.ac.in. Errors on the rank card can cause delays during document verification, so it is better to flag them now than to discover them on admission day.

SAAT 2026 Qualifying Marks

To be eligible for e-counselling and seat allotment, you must score at or above the qualifying mark. This is a floor — clearing it puts you in the pool of eligible candidates. Whether you actually get your preferred program depends on the program-wise cutoff, which is determined by competition and seats available during counselling.

SAAT 2026 Qualifying Marks

The minimum qualifying marks for SAAT 2026 vary by category. Candidates must score at least the minimum to be eligible for counselling.

Scoring at the qualifying minimum gets a candidate into counselling. For high-demand programs like B.Tech CSE or B.Sc Nursing, the effective cutoff during seat allotment is typically higher than the qualifying minimum, especially in Round 1 when competition is at its peak.

A higher score gives an earlier slot in the counselling sequence and more program options to choose from.

SAAT 2026 Expected Cutoff

The SAAT cutoff is not announced in advance. It is the score at which seats for a given program get filled after each counselling round, and it shifts based on how many students qualify, how many seats are vacant, and how much demand a program sees in that cycle.

High-demand programs close at higher scores; programs with more seats available have lower effective cutoffs. Based on qualifying marks and demand patterns from previous cycles, here is what can broadly be expected for 2026:

Official program-wise cutoffs for each counselling round will be published on admission.soa.ac.in after seat allotment concludes. The figures above are indicative expectations based on program demand patterns, not officially declared numbers.

Once published, the portal should be referred to for exact figures.

SAAT 2026 Merit List

SOA University prepares a separate merit list for each program based on SAAT scores. While the rank card shows the overall rank among all candidates in that round, the merit list narrows this to the position specifically among students who qualify for and apply to the same program.

• A separate merit list is prepared for each program (B.Tech, BCA, Nursing, etc.) and each category (General, SC, ST, OBC, PwD).
• If two candidates have the same total SAAT score, ties are broken by comparing subject-wise marks — usually the score in the core subject most relevant to the program (Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics for engineering; Biology for nursing and pharmacy programs).
• Position on the merit list determines the counselling slot — candidates higher on the list get earlier slots and more program and campus choices.
• The merit list is used internally by SOA University to sequence seat allotment rounds; it is not published as a separate downloadable document before counselling begins.
• A candidate can gauge approximate standing by comparing their score against the closing scores for each program once counselling results are published round by round.

What After SAAT Result 2026?

With the Round 2 result out, the next milestone is e-counselling. SOA University runs the entire process online — no physical reporting is required until final document verification and fee payment at the time of enrolment.

The step-by-step flow is as follows:

• Candidates receive their rank card and merit list position after results are declared.
• E-counselling registration opens on the official portal for eligible candidates.
• Candidates fill in their program and campus preferences based on their rank.
• Seat allotment is done round by round based on merit and preference order.
• After allotment, candidates must accept the seat and pay the required fee to confirm it.
• Final document verification and enrolment happen at the time of joining.

SAAT 2026 Counselling Process

SOA University conducts e-counselling for seat allotment after the SAAT 2026 results. The process has six steps, from registration to final enrolment.

The Round 2 e-counselling schedule has not been announced yet but is expected soon. Keep checking admission.soa.ac.in for updates.

Mop-up Round for SAAT 2026

Candidates who did not qualify in Round 1 or Round 2 can still apply for the Mop-up Round. The application deadline is July 4, 2026, and the exam runs from July 11 to July 15, 2026.

Mop-up Round qualifiers are eligible for counselling for any remaining seats after the main rounds. This is the last opportunity to appear for SAAT 2026.

SAAT 2026 Result and Rank Card

The SAAT 2026 Round 2 result is available at admission.soa.ac.in. Go to the results section, select Round 2, enter your application number and date of birth, and download your rank card as a PDF.

If you lose your rank card, you can re-download it anytime from admission.soa.ac.in using your application number and date of birth. The portal keeps rank cards accessible throughout the admission season. Save a copy on your phone and email it to yourself so you always have a backup ready.

Qualifying Marks for SAAT 2026

General category candidates need at least 45 out of 100 marks to qualify. SC, ST, OBC, and PwD candidates need at least 40 out of 100.

These are qualifying marks for entering the counselling pool. The actual program-wise cutoffs — particularly for competitive branches like B.Tech CSE — are higher and depend on how many students qualify and how many seats are available.

Marking Scheme for SAAT 2026

SAAT 2026 has no negative marking. Each correct answer scores 1 mark.

Wrong answers and unattempted questions both score 0. Attempting every question was the right strategy in the exam.

SAAT 2026 E-Counselling Schedule

SOA University has not yet announced the e-counselling schedule. Based on previous years, counselling typically begins 2–3 weeks after the final round's result.

Since the Mop-up Round exam is on July 11–15, 2026, expect the schedule to be published sometime in late July 2026. Keep checking admission.soa.ac.in for the official announcement.

Programs Covered by SAAT 2026

SAAT does not cover MBBS and BDS admissions at SOA University. These two programs are done through NEET only, as directed by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).

All other health sciences programs at SOA — B.Sc Nursing, B.Pharm, and M.Pharm — are covered by SAAT.

Multiple Round Qualification

SOA University allows candidates to appear across rounds and considers your best qualifying result. A higher score in Round 2 gives you a better rank for counselling.

If you have registrations across rounds, confirm the tie-handling and merit list rules with SOA University at saat2026@soa.ac.in, as program-wise merit lists can affect how overlapping entries are handled.

Documents Required for Counselling

Carry your SAAT 2026 rank card, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and passing certificates, a valid category certificate (for SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates), a government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport), passport-size photographs, and the counselling fee payment receipt.

For medical programs like Nursing or Pharmacy, a fitness certificate may also be required. Always bring originals and self-attested photocopies of everything.

SAAT Score vs. SAAT Rank

SAAT score is the raw marks obtained out of 100. SAAT rank is the position of a candidate relative to all other candidates who appeared in the same round.

Rank 1 is the top scorer. For seat allotment, rank matters more than the raw score because counselling slots and seat allotment are sequenced by rank. A lower rank number means a better position in the counselling queue.

JEE Main Scores for B.Tech Admission

Yes, SOA University accepts valid JEE Main scores for B.Tech admissions at ITER, its engineering institute, alongside SAAT. Both routes lead to the same e-counselling process at admission.soa.ac.in.

If a candidate has both a SAAT rank and a JEE Main score, they should contact the admissions office at saat2026@soa.ac.in to understand which score gives a stronger position for their preferred branch.

*The article might have information for the previous academic years, which will be updated soon subject to the notification issued by the University/College.

Wrong answers and unattempted questions both score 0.

SAAT Score vs Rank

The SAAT score is the raw marks obtained out of 100. The rank is the position relative to all other candidates who appeared in the same round, with Rank 1 being the top scorer.

For seat allotment, rank matters more than the raw score because counselling slots and seat allotment are sequenced by rank. A lower rank number means a better position in the counselling queue.

SAAT 2026 Counselling

Since the Mop-up Round exam is on July 11-15, 2026, the schedule is expected to be published sometime in late July 2026. Candidates should keep checking admission.soa.ac.in for the official announcement.

Multiple Round Results

SOA University allows candidates to appear across rounds and considers the best qualifying result. A higher score in Round 2 gives a better rank for counselling.

If a candidate has registrations across rounds, they should confirm the tie-handling and merit list rules with SOA University at saat2026@soa.ac.in, as program-wise merit lists can affect how overlapping entries are handled.

Documents Required for Counselling

Carry the following documents for SAAT 2026 counselling:

The SAAT Sample Paper set helps you practise all 120 questions the way they appear in the real Siksha 'O' Anusandhan Admission Test. Each paper covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics with full answer keys. An external review site provides free subject-wise SAAT sample papers with detailed solutions.

• Every SAAT Sample Paper follows the live pattern of 40 questions each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, for a total of 120 questions.
• SAAT gives +1 mark for every correct answer and has no negative marking, so you can attempt all questions without fear of losing marks.
• The whole paper runs for 120 minutes, which leaves you close to 1 minute per question, and these practice papers train you for that pace.

Pick your subject below to open the SAAT Sample Paper PDF with solutions.

How to Solve SAAT Sample Papers

Because SAAT packs 120 questions into 120 minutes, your biggest task is keeping a steady speed of about one question a minute. Use each SAAT Sample Paper to build that rhythm before exam day.

• Set real exam conditions: Sit for the full 2 hours in one go, keep only a rough sheet and a pen, and answer on a screen if you can since SAAT is a computer-based test.
• Quick scan: Read every question as a single-correct multiple choice with four options, and mark the easy ones first so you do not get stuck early.
• Section order: Start with the subject you are strongest in among Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, then move to the other two while your confidence is high.
• No negative marking: SAAT does not cut any marks for a wrong answer, so make sure you leave nothing blank and put a best guess on anything you cannot fully solve.
• Watch the clock per subject: Try to spend close to 40 minutes on each of the three subjects so no single section eats your whole time.
• Post-paper analysis:
  • Check your answer key and write down every question you got wrong.
  • Sort the mistakes into silly slips, formula gaps, and topics you have not revised.
  • Go back to the chapter for each repeated mistake before your next practice paper.

SAAT Sample Paper 2026: Why Solving Them Matters

SAAT decides your seat at Siksha 'O' Anusandhan, and the paper rewards students who are quick and accurate across all three subjects. Regular practice with a SAAT Sample Paper PDF is the simplest way to get there.

• You learn to keep a one-question-a-minute pace, which is exactly what 120 questions in 120 minutes asks of you.
• Since there is no negative marking, practice teaches you to attempt every question instead of leaving safe-looking blanks.
• You see how Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are split equally, so you give each subject the time it deserves.
• Solving full papers shows you which chapters come up often, so your revision stays on the topics that matter for SAAT.
• You get used to reading four-option questions quickly and spotting the one correct choice.
• Each SAAT practice paper with solutions tells you where you lose marks while there is still time to fix it.

Why Choose an external review site's SAAT Sample Papers 2026

An external review site builds every SAAT Sample Paper around the current exam pattern so your practice matches the real test, not an old format.

• Latest and Accurate: Every paper follows the live 120-question SAAT pattern with equal Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics weight.
• Detailed Solutions: Each question comes with a worked answer so you understand the method, not just the final option.
• User-Friendly: Clean PDFs you can read on a phone or print for a paper-based run.
• Regular Updates: Papers are refreshed when the SAAT exam pattern or syllabus changes.
• Free to Download: Every SAAT Sample Paper PDF is free, with no sign-up needed.
• Quality Questions: Original questions written to the SAAT difficulty level across all three subjects.

Mistakes to Avoid While Solving SAAT Sample Papers

A SAAT Sample Paper only helps when you treat it like the real test. These are the slips students make most often.

• Leaving questions blank even though SAAT has no negative marking, which means free marks are being thrown away.
• Spending too long on one tricky question and running short of time for the easy ones later in the paper.
• Practising only your favourite subject instead of giving Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics equal time.
• Solving without a timer, so you never learn the one-question-a-minute pace SAAT needs.
• Skipping the solution review, which is where you actually learn why an answer was wrong.
• Ignoring the chapters that show up again and again in full papers.
