2,500 Rank in AP EAPCET — FAQs
Which CSE colleges can I get with 2,500 rank in AP EAPCET?
Based on official 2024–25 convener-quota closing ranks, 40 Andhra Pradesh colleges closed CSE at or beyond rank 2,500 for OC — including Andhra University College of Engineering (AUCE), Gayathri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering, Shri Vishnu Engineering College for Women. Cutoffs shift every year, so treat these as realistic targets rather than guarantees.
Is 2,500 a good rank in AP EAPCET 2026?
It depends on the branch and category. For CSE, 40 colleges were reachable at this rank for OC candidates in 2024–25. Reserved-category (BC, SC, ST, EWS) closing ranks are substantially higher than OC, so the same rank reaches more colleges in those categories.
Do these cutoffs apply to all categories?
No — the table on this page uses OC (boys) closing ranks as the reference. Closing ranks for BC-A/B/C/D/E, SC, ST and EWS are higher (more lenient), and girls' closing ranks also differ. Use the TeluguColleges EAPCET predictor for a list matched to your exact category and gender.
When is AP EAPCET 2026 counselling?
Registration and processing-fee payment run July 20–29, certificate verification July 22–31, and web options July 25–31 (options can be changed on August 1). Seat allotment is released August 6, with self-joining and reporting August 7–13. Official closing ranks for 2026 are published after each allotment round.
Methodology: closing ranks are sourced from official APSCHE / JNTU Kakinada last-rank statements for 2024–25. Reference data is OC (boys) — actual cutoffs vary by category and gender, and the convenor-quota cutoffs in 2026 may shift higher or lower than the reference year. Use this list as a shortlist for further research, not as an admission guarantee.
