AP EAPCET
Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture & Pharmacy Common Entrance Test
Practice papers and tests for AP EAPCETAP EAPCET is Andhra Pradesh's state entrance test for engineering, agriculture and pharmacy. There is no negative marking, so every question is worth attempting. And the rank is not the test alone: 25% of it is your Intermediate PCM marks. Several coaching sites claim that weightage was removed — the official 2026 documents say it was not, so plan on it applying.

Where this exam leads
Where the seats are
APSCHE publishes the participating-college list with each counselling round rather than keeping a permanent one. Check the current list before setting preferences.
University constituent engineering colleges under JNTU Kakinada, JNTU-GV, Andhra University and Sri Venkateswara University · Private engineering colleges and universities in Andhra Pradesh, 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We do not publish closing ranks for this exam.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.
