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.

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.
