Students comparing SOA B.Tech branches, fees, admission routes, eligibility and placement outcomes before applying for the 2026 intake.
Why Consider SOA B.Tech?
The main decision factors are branch availability, published fee, admission route, curriculum, engineering infrastructure and reported placement outcomes. SOA's Engineering category was ranked 22 in NIRF 2025.
Multiple technology branches
Students can choose between core engineering and several computer-focused specialisations.
NIRF Engineering #22
Useful as a national benchmark, but branch-level fit still matters.
Strong reported placement rate
NIRF reported 1,802 placements among 1,903 engineering graduates in 2023-24.
SOA B.Tech Eligibility 2026
SOA's published eligibility is branch-specific. CSE and the listed CSE technology specialisations require Physics and Mathematics with one prescribed additional subject. Core branches such as Civil, Electrical and Mechanical follow their published PCM requirements.
| Branch group | Published academic requirement |
|---|---|
| CSE / CSIT / AI-ML / Cyber Security / Data Science / IoT | 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics plus one prescribed subject and the required aggregate. |
| Civil / Electrical / Mechanical | 10+2 with the prescribed PCM combination and aggregate. |
| Category relaxation | SOA publishes lower aggregate thresholds for eligible reserved categories. |
