The SAAT Application Form 2026 is the official registration document for SOA University’s Siksha ’O’ Anusandhan Admission Test.

SOA University does not publicly release year-wise SAAT registration and appearance statistics. SAAT draws students primarily from Odisha and neighbouring eastern states, given SOA University’s strong reputation and wide programme portfolio. The introduction of a two-round format from 2026 onward is expected to increase overall participation by giving students a second chance to qualify and apply.

SAAT 2026 Eligibility Criteria (Before You Apply)

Minimum Marks — SC / ST 45% aggregate in Class 12 in the relevant stream

Verify your programme-specific eligibility from the official SAAT 2026 information brochure at admission.soa.ac.in before submitting your form. Eligibility criteria vary by course — what applies to B.Tech does not necessarily apply to BBA or B.Sc Nursing.

Keep all documents ready before you start the SAAT 2026 application. Blurry, cropped, or incorrectly formatted uploads are rejected during scrutiny and may require re-submission if a correction window is available.

SAAT Application Fee 2026

The SAAT 2026 application fee is nil — completely free for all students across every category. There is no payment step in the application form. This makes SAAT one of the few university-level admission tests in India where the cost of applying is zero.

Category Application Fee
General ₹0 (Free)
OBC ₹0 (Free)
SC / ST ₹0 (Free)
PwD ₹0 (Free)
Foreign Nationals / NRI ₹0 (Free) — separate admission norms apply

Because there is no fee, there is no payment gateway, no risk of a failed transaction, and nothing to be refunded. If any website or individual asks you to pay money to apply for SAAT 2026, do not pay — the official application is free, and such requests are fraudulent.
