About Sai University
If you hate the idea of choosing between coding and literature, you should look closely at how Sai University sets up its curriculum. Instead of locking you into a narrow stream from day one, they expect you to study at the intersection of technology, law, and humanities before you choose your major. It feels much closer to an American liberal arts college than a rigid technical institute, meaning you will spend as much time debating ethics as you will writing Python scripts.

Admissions Overview
Sai University evaluates applicants through a multi-stage review process that looks beyond board marks. The university calculates a composite score based on your 10+2 performance, standardized test scores (such as the SAT, ACT, CLAT, or the university's own entrance test), and a personal interview. After compiling these factors, the admissions committee publishes a merit list with a specific cutoff score for the academic year.
If your composite evaluation score meets the published cutoff, you will receive a provisional offer letter. To secure your enrollment in the incoming class, you must submit your verified academic transcripts and complete the initial fee deposit within the timeframe specified in your offer before those spots are opened to waitlisted candidates.
