Full Overview

Andhra Pradesh Engineering Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test Cut Off

AP EAPCET 2026 Cutoff

AP EAPCET 2026 cutoff is the minimum marks or rank required to qualify for counselling and secure admission into engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy courses in Andhra Pradesh. The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) will release the cutoff after the counselling rounds.

  • General category candidates must score 25% of the total marks in EAPCET 2026 to qualify for counselling.
  • There is no minimum qualifying mark for the SC/ST category for counselling.
  • AP EAMCET 2026 cutoff will require 120+ marks for top-tier colleges in Andhra Pradesh.
  • Seat allotment depends on the AP EAMCET rank, the cutoff rank of the particular course and college, and the candidate's category.

Cutoff changes every year based on the number of candidates, the difficulty level of the exam, the category, and the total number of seats available.

Category-wise Expected Cutoff 2026

The Agriculture and Pharmacy (BiPC) stream requires higher marks compared to the Engineering (MPC) stream for top ranks.

  • Engineering (MPC) has a wider rank range due to a higher number of seats and colleges.
  • Agriculture & Pharmacy seats are limited, leading to tighter competition and higher score requirements.
  • Reserved categories (BC, SC, ST) have relatively lower cutoff marks and wider rank flexibility.

Note: SC/ST/PwD have no minimum qualifying cutoff, so no minimum marks are required for counselling, but admission depends on reserved seat availability. For General and OBC, the qualifying cutoff is 25% of the total marks (40 marks) for counselling.

Expected Cutoff for Engineering (MPC)

Category Expected Qualifying Marks (Out of 160) Expected Closing Rank Range (General Engineering)
OC (General) 40–50+ ~12,000 – 18,000
OC (Girls) 38–48+ ~13,000 – 20,000
BC-A 35–45+ ~18,000 – 24,000
BC-B 36–46+ ~15,000 – 22,000
BC-C 30–40+ ~35,000 – 45,000
BC-D 35–45+ ~16,000 – 24,000

SC No minimum prescribed* ~30,000 – 48,000
ST No minimum prescribed* ~35,000 – 52,000

Expected Cutoff for Agriculture & Pharmacy (BiPC)

The BiPC stream has fewer seats, so the cutoff marks are higher than the MPC stream. Candidates need a stronger score to secure a seat in agriculture and pharmacy courses.

Category Expected Qualifying Marks (Out of 160) Expected Closing Rank Range
OC (General) 50–60+ ~8,000 – 12,000
OC (Girls) 48–58+ ~9,000 – 14,000
