Hi sudhir,

You could create a add in and then create site with custom site template with Rest API:

function createSite() {
var requestURL = appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/webinfos/Add?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var siteTitle = $('#siteTitle').val();
var siteUrl = $('#siteTitle').val().replace(" ", "");
var templateID = $("#ddlTemplate").val().split('#')[0];
var jsonData = "{ 'parameters': { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.WebInfoCreationInformation' }, 'Title': '" + siteTitle + "', 'Url': '" + siteUrl + "', 'WebTemplate': '" + templateID + "'} }";

$.ajax({
url: requestURL,
type: "POST",
data: jsonData,
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val()
},
success: function () { alert("site Created"); },
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
alert(JSON.stringify(xhr));
}
});
}
