SASTRA University Releases Engineering Admission Rank List for 2026-27 Academic Year The SASTRA Deemed University has officially released the engineering admission rank list for the academic year 2026-27, with R. Abhinav from Chennai securing the top position in both Stream 1 and Stream 2 of the admissions process. Abhinav achieved a Class XII score of 97.8% and a JEE Main score of 99.6909, making him the highest-ranked candidate in the competition. The rank list was announced on June 5, 2026, following the completion of the admissions cycle for the institution. The university received over 37,000 applications from students across India for the engineering programs. Admissions to 50% of the available seats were conducted under Stream 1, which prioritized candidates based on their Class XII aggregate scores and JEE Main results. The remaining 50% of seats were allocated through Stream 2, which relied solely on Class XII aggregate scores. This dual-stream approach allowed for a more comprehensive evaluation of applicants, balancing academic performance with standardized test outcomes. SASTRA University also reserved 20% of its seats for students from the Tiruchi and Thanjavur regions, reflecting its commitment to regional educational equity. Additionally, the institution provided special provisions for students from the North Eastern States, Jammu & Kashmir, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and Lakshadweep, ensuring access to higher education for students from these geographically and economically distinct areas. The university’s Vice-Chancellor, S. Vaidhyasubramaniam, highlighted the importance of the rank list in determining admission outcomes and emphasized the institution’s dedication to maintaining transparency in the process.#tiruchi #thanjavur #sastra_university #r_abhinav #s_vaidhyasubramaniam
Rainfall Forecast for Tamil Nadu Districts Until 10 PM The Chennai Weather Centre has issued a forecast indicating that four districts in Tamil Nadu may experience light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by lightning, until 10 PM today. The affected areas include Vrindavan, Madurai, Thanjavur, and Coimbatore. According to the report, a trough in the atmospheric pressure system is currently affecting the region. This trough, which spans from Odisha’s interior to the southern tip of the Andaman Sea, is moving through southern states such as Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Tamil Nadu. Additionally, a low-pressure system is influencing the northern parts of Tamil Nadu and adjacent regions. The weather centre explained that these atmospheric conditions are likely to result in isolated instances of thunderstorms and lightning in the western hill districts of Tamil Nadu and neighboring areas. Light to moderate rainfall is also expected in parts of Tamil Nadu, as well as in regions near Chennai and Karur. The forecast highlights that the trough’s movement could lead to intermittent rainfall in the specified districts until 10 PM. The Chennai Weather Centre emphasized that while the rainfall is expected to be light to moderate, the presence of lightning necessitates caution for residents in the affected areas. The report also noted that the trough’s path is likely to influence weather patterns across southern India, with potential for localized rainfall in several states. However, the primary focus of the forecast is on the four Tamil Nadu districts, where the combination of the trough and low-pressure system is expected to create conditions conducive to thunderstorms and rain.#tamil_nadu #madurai #chennai_weather_centre #vrindavan #thanjavur
