Based on historical data, roughly 70% of applicants choose Engineering, while the remaining candidates opt for Agriculture and Pharmacy.
The test is computer-based with 160 multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Engineering (MPC) candidates answer Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry; Agriculture & Pharmacy (BPC) candidates answer Biology, Physics and Chemistry.
Top engineering branches such as Computer Science and Electronics typically require scores in the 120–140 range; Agriculture and Pharmacy cutoffs are usually lower, around 85–100.
AP EAPCET 2025 — latest trends
AP EAPCET 2025 exams were scheduled from May 19 to May 27, 2025, with separate dates allocated for the Engineering and Agriculture & Pharmacy streams as outlined below.
To do well in this competitive exam, candidates must be familiar with the exam pattern and structure.
The Engineering stream includes Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, while the Agriculture & Pharmacy stream includes Botany, Zoology, Physics and Chemistry. Below is the subject-wise question distribution.
EAMCET was renamed EAPCET in 2021 after medical admissions (MBBS/BDS) moved to NEET, replacing "Medical" with "Pharmacy".
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana each conduct EAPCET separately for their states.
The exam pattern, syllabus and eligibility criteria are largely the same across the states, with medical courses now excluded.
Students appearing in the final year of their qualifying examination (Intermediate or equivalent) are eligible to take AP EAPCET 2025.
About 85% of government college seats are reserved for local (indigenous) candidates, with the remainder available to non-local applicants.
For complete eligibility details see: AP EAPCET (AP EAMCET) Eligibility Criteria 2025 — age limit, qualifications and reservation.

A strong score helps candidates gain entry to reputable colleges, access scholarships and build a solid start to further studies.
A good AP EAPCET score is one that secures admission to your preferred program and improves chances of getting into a well-regarded college.
Historically, General category candidates scoring 120 or above are considered to have a strong chance of admission into prominent engineering colleges and scholarship opportunities.
SC, ST and OBC candidates generally require slightly lower scores to obtain admission to government or semi-government colleges.
