AP EAPCET College Predictor – Find Colleges for Your Rank

No tool is needed to get a good idea. Use your rank, category, gender, region and branch with last year's closing ranks.

Rank Based  •  Category-wise  •  Branch-wise
📘 About this page: This is a simple guide, not an automatic tool. For real allotment data, use the official counselling portal when the data is published.

What You Need

🔢 Your rank
From your AP EAPCET rank card.
🏷️ Category and gender
OC, EWS, BC-A to BC-E, SC or ST, and whether you are a girl candidate.
🌍 Local region
Local area details, such as AU or SVU region, can change the cutoff.
📚 Branch choice
CSE and AI branches close at better ranks than most others.

Simple 5-Step Method

1
Note your rank
Use your category rank if available.
2
Open last year's closing ranks
3
Match college and branch
Find colleges whose closing rank is near or above your rank.
4
Sort into three lists
Dream (slightly better than your rank), realistic (around your rank) and safe (comfortably above).
5
Use the list in counselling
Enter it as your web options. See Counselling.

Example from 2025 Data

CollegeBranch2025 Closing Rank (Open)
Andhra University College of Engineering, VisakhapatnamB.Tech CSE2,937
JNTU College of Engineering, KakinadaB.Tech CSE2,970

So in 2025, an Open category rank within about 3,000 was needed for CSE at these two colleges. Your result may differ because ranks change every year.

AP EAPCET Rank Predictor – Estimate Your Rank

Use your AP EAPCET marks and Intermediate marks to estimate your combined score and understand where you may stand.

75 : 25 Formula  •  Indicative Rank  •  Worked Example
📢 Please note: This is an estimate only. Official ranks come from APSCHE after normalisation. Ranks for the next cycle are To be announced.

Step 1: Calculate Your Combined Score

Combined score ≈ 0.75 × (AP EAPCET marks ÷ 160 × 100) + 0.25 × (Intermediate group marks %)

Example: AP EAPCET 120 out of 160 and Intermediate 90%. First part: 0.75 × 75 = 56.25. Second part: 0.25 × 90 = 22.5. Combined score = 78.75.

Step 2: Compare With Indicative Rank Bands

AP EAPCET MarksIndicative Rank (Without Intermediate)
About 8010,001 to 15,000
60 to 7915,001 to 35,000
40 to 5935,001 to 80,000

Higher Intermediate marks can improve your position. See Marks vs Rank for more examples.

Step 3: Check Colleges

When your rank comes, open Closing Ranks and College Predictor to plan your options.
