SAAT 2026 Round 2 results are expected to be declared on June 29, 2026 at admission.soa.ac.in — students who appeared in the June 18–25 exam window and secure a valid rank will be eligible for seat allotment at SOA University across B.Tech, MBBS, BDS, B.Pharm, Nursing, and allied health programmes.
The Siksha ’O’ Anusandhan Admission Test (SAAT) 2026 is conducted in three exam rounds — Round 1 (May 8–15), Round 2 (June 18–25), and a Mopup Round (July 11–15). Round 2 gives fresh applicants who missed Round 1 another chance to qualify and receive a seat. Based on previous year trends, Round 2 typically witnesses a strong pass percentage as students are better prepared and seat availability across certain programmes remains open after Round 1 allotments are completed.
- SAAT 2026 Round 2 exam was conducted from June 18 to June 25, 2026.
- Round 2 results and rank cards are expected on June 29, 2026 at admission.soa.ac.in.
- Only students who applied between May 6 and June 9, 2026 are eligible for Round 2 allotment.
- Based on previous year trends, a significant share of seats across all SOA programmes remain available for Round 2 allottees.
- A Mopup Round (exam: July 11–15, 2026) is available for students who do not receive allotment in Round 2.

SAAT 2026 Round 2: Key Dates and Timeline
Unlike many state counselling systems that run multiple seat-allotment rounds on a single merit list, SAAT is structured as three independent exam windows. Each round has its own application window, exam dates, and separate result declaration. The table below summarises Round 2 dates:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Round 2 Application Start | May 6, 2026 |
| Round 2 Application Last Date | June 9, 2026 |
| Round 2 Exam Window | June 18 – June 25, 2026 |
| Round 2 Result and Rank Card Declaration | June 29, 2026 (Expected) |
| e-Counselling and Seat Allotment (Engineering) | To be notified post-result |
| Mopup Round Application Start | June 10, 2026 |
| Mopup Round Exam Window | July 11 – July 15, 2026 |
Students who applied only for Round 2 are not automatically considered for Mopup Round — a separate application is required for the Mopup window if a student does not receive allotment in Round 2. Always check admission.soa.ac.in for updated counselling dates post-result.
SAAT 2026 Round 2 Pass Percentage: What to Expect
The pass percentage in SAAT 2026 Round 2 refers to the share of students who appeared in the June exam window, secured a qualifying rank, and ultimately received a seat allotment through SOA University’s e-Counselling process. Based on the structure of previous SAAT cycles, the following is expected for Round 2 2026:
| Parameter | Expected Outcome (Based on Previous Year Trends) |
|---|---|
| Students who appear in Round 2 exam | Significantly fewer than Round 1 (Round 2 is a smaller pool of fresh applicants) |
| Students receiving a valid SAAT rank | All students who attempt the test receive a rank — there is no minimum qualifying cutoff for ranking |
| Students receiving seat allotment | Depends on rank secured and remaining seat availability after Round 1 allotment |
| Expected pass percentage (seat allotment rate) | Higher per-candidate rate than Round 1, as fewer students compete for remaining seats |
| Programmes most likely to have seats available | B.Tech (non-CS/ECE branches), B.Pharm, Allied Health Sciences, Nursing |
| Programmes likely fully filled after Round 1 | MBBS, BDS (high demand; typically near 100% fill in Round 1) |
Unlike Round 1, where a larger applicant pool competes for all available seats, Round 2 applicants benefit from a smaller competing group and only contest for seats that remained unfilled after Round 1 counselling. This typically translates into a higher per-student seat allotment rate in Round 2, particularly for B.Tech branches such as Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Electronics and Instrumentation.
The actual pass percentage and seat allotment list for SAAT 2026 Round 2 will be published at admission.soa.ac.in on or after June 29, 2026.
Programmes with Seats Available After Round 1 at SOA University
SOA University offers admission across more than 16 programme categories through SAAT 2026. Based on previous year counselling patterns, the following programmes are expected to have seats available for Round 2 allottees:
| Programme | Seat Availability After Round 1 (Expected) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech — CSE, ECE | Limited | High demand; most seats typically filled in Round 1 |
| B.Tech — Mechanical, Civil, Chemical | Moderate to Good | Seats available for Round 2 allottees in most years |
| MBBS | Very Limited or Nil | Extremely high demand; seats expected to fill in Round 1 |
| BDS | Limited | Seats may be available for SC/ST category students |
| B.Pharm | Good | Consistent availability for Round 2 applicants |
| B.Sc Nursing | Good | Seats available across general and reserved categories |
| Allied Health Sciences | Good | Broad seat pool; higher allotment rate expected in Round 2 |
| BCA, BBA, Law | Good | Less competitive; seats available through Round 2 and Mopup |
These are expected figures based on previous SAAT cycle trends. Actual seat availability for Round 2 will be confirmed by SOA University on the official portal once Round 1 counselling is closed. Students are advised to submit multiple programme preferences during counselling to maximise allotment chances.
