AP EAPCET Cutoff 2025-26: Expected, Previous Years’ Trends, and Category-Wise Details
The AP EAPCET Cutoff 2025-26 is one of the most crucial aspects for students aiming to secure admission into engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy courses across Andhra Pradesh. The cutoff serves as the minimum qualifying rank or marks that a candidate needs to obtain to be eligible for counselling and admission in participating colleges. In this detailed guide, we will explore the expected AP EAPCET cutoff 2025-26, factors influencing it, previous year trends, and how it impacts your admission chances.
Understanding AP EAPCET Cutoff
The AP EAPCET (Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test) cutoff is determined separately for each course, category, and college. Conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Anantapur on behalf of APSCHE, the cutoff is released after each round of counselling.
Cutoffs vary widely depending on:
- Course Preference (Engineering / Agriculture / Pharmacy)
- Category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwD, etc.)
- Type of College (Government, University, or Private)
- Seat Availability
AP EAPCET 2025-26 Qualifying Marks
Before looking at the admission cutoffs, it’s important to understand the qualifying marks — the minimum score required to be eligible for ranking.

Factors Influencing AP EAPCET Cutoff 2025-26
Several factors determine the cutoff ranks for AP EAPCET each year. For 2025-26, the following are key influencers:
- Difficulty Level of the Exam – A tougher exam may result in lower cutoffs, while an easier one can push them higher.
- Number of Candidates Appearing – More candidates can increase competition.
- Total Seats Available – Higher seat availability may lower the cutoff rank.
- Category-Wise Reservation – Reserved category candidates have different cutoffs.
- Previous Year Trends – Historical data is often a good indicator of expected cutoffs.
