Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General (OC) | 75-85 marks (47-53%) |
| EWS | 70-78 marks (44-49%) |
| OBC (BC-A/B/C/D) | 65-75 marks (41-47%) |
| SC | 50-62 marks (31-39%) |
| ST | 45-58 marks (28-36%) |
| PwD | 40-55 marks (25-34%) |
- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 8-12 marks, with SC/ST cutoffs approximately 20-30 marks below General category thresholds. AP EAMCET uses category-specific reservation percentages (BC: 25%, SC: 15%, ST: 6%, EWS: 10%) which influence admission outcomes beyond cutoffs.
- Year-to-year cutoff shifts depend on paper difficulty (±5-8 marks fluctuation), total candidates appearing, seat availability in government/private colleges, and weightage changes between JEE Main/EAMCET scores in final ranking. Engineering streams generally have higher cutoffs than agricultural courses.
- These are minimum qualifying/admission cutoffs for entry-level colleges; premium institutions (JNTU, AU College of Engineering) require scores in the 85-92%+ band even for reserved categories, with branch-specific variations favouring CSE/ECE over civil/mechanical disciplines.
