AP EAPCET 2026 cutoff expected: Category-wise
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, thus no minimum marks 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.
