After the stabbings Zeng was subdued by one of the injured young men, and later caught by police, it said.
The court statement described Zeng as "antisocial" and "always feeling marginalized," but a psychiatric evaluation confirmed he was not mentally ill.
Zeng did not file an appeal after the court announced his death sentence Wednesday, the document said.
The same court sentenced another campus killer, Chen Keyu, to life in jail Wednesday.
Chen, a sophomore at Sichuan University's school of business administration, stabbed a roommate to death on April 7, saying the latter was hostile and often mocked him.
Chen called police after the killing and a psychiatric evaluation indicated he was suffering insanity, which resulted in the judge's leniency while meting out his penalty.
