Some universities in the College Board table show SAT acceptance for BTech/engineering programmes, while others do not. Never assume that a university accepting SAT generally also accepts it for engineering.

Frequently asked questions
Is SAT accepted in Indian universities?
Yes, many institutions listed by College Board use SAT scores, but acceptance can differ by programme and applicant type.
Can SAT replace JEE for every BTech college?
No. Only some institutions/programmes accept SAT for engineering, and each university sets its own policy.
Should I trust an old SAT university list?
No. Use the current College Board acceptance table and then confirm the university’s own admissions page.
