TG EAPCET
Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture & Pharmacy Common Entrance Test
About this exam — pattern, marking, syllabus and where it leadsShowHide
TG EAPCET is Telangana's state entrance test, formerly TS EAMCET. The paper is structured like Andhra's and marked the same way, with no negative marking — but the ranking is not the same. Telangana ranks purely on the entrance score. There is no Intermediate weightage here, whatever the aggregator sites say, and that is the one difference worth carrying if you are preparing for both states.
- Duration
- 3 hours, one paper.
- Papers
- One paper. Engineering candidates sit the MPC stream; Agriculture and Pharmacy candidates sit BiPC.

Where this exam leads
Where the seats are
TGCHE publishes the participating-college list with each counselling round. Check the current list before setting preferences.
University constituent colleges under JNTU Hyderabad and Osmania University · Government engineering colleges in Telangana · Private colleges, for their convener-quota seats
Grouped by band rather than ranked one by one, because the ordering changes yearly and a branch at one institute is often worth more than a seat at a higher-ranked one. Check NIRF and the official counselling data before setting your preferences.
We do not publish closing ranks for this exam. Its counselling data is not released in a form we can verify institute by institute, and a plausible-looking invented number is worse than none — take the cut-offs from the conducting body's own counselling reports.
