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.

Scoring at the qualifying minimum gets you 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. The higher your score, the earlier your slot in the counselling sequence and the more program options you can choose from.

SAAT 2026 Merit List

SOA University prepares a separate merit list for each program based on SAAT scores. While your rank card shows your overall rank among all candidates in that round, the merit list narrows this to your 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).
• Your position on the merit list determines your 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.
• You can gauge your approximate standing by comparing your score against the closing scores for each program once counselling results are published round by round.

What After SAAT Result 2026?

With 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. Here is the step-by-step flow:

Keep checking admission.soa.ac.in for the Round 2 e-counselling schedule — it has not been announced yet but is expected soon. If you did not qualify in Round 1 or Round 2, you can still apply for the Mop-up Round (deadline: July 4, 2026) and appear for the exam on July 11–15. Mop-up Round qualifiers are eligible for counselling for any remaining seats after the main rounds.
