5,000 Rank in TG EAPCET — FAQs
Which AI & Data Science colleges can I get with 5,000 rank in TG EAPCET?
Based on official 2025–26 convener-quota closing ranks, 20 Telangana colleges closed AI & Data Science at or beyond rank 5,000 for OC — including B V Raju Institute of Technology, CVR College of Engineering, J.B Institute of Engineering and Technology. Cutoffs shift every year, so treat these as realistic targets rather than guarantees.
Is 5,000 a good rank in TG EAPCET 2026?
It depends on the branch and category. For AI & Data Science, 20 colleges were reachable at this rank for OC candidates in 2025–26. 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 TG EAPCET 2026 counselling?
Phase-2 registration and slot booking open July 17, certificate verification July 18, and fresh web options July 18–19 (Phase-1 options don't carry over). Phase-2 allotment is due by July 22. Official closing ranks for 2026 are published after each allotment round.
Methodology: closing ranks are sourced from official TSCHE / JNTU Hyderabad last-rank statements for 2025–26. 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.
