Over 1.82 Lakh Students Qualify in Engineering
This year, the Engineering stream recorded an impressive performance, with 1,82,317 candidates qualifying for admission. The overall pass percentage stood at 70.52%, reflecting strong competition among aspirants.
The Agriculture and Pharmacy stream also witnessed an excellent success rate. A total of 63,546 candidates qualified, with an overall pass percentage of 89.59%.
Officials also noted that female candidates achieved a slightly higher success rate than male candidates in the Engineering stream, continuing the trend of strong academic performance.
Why Was the Result Announced Later Than Expected?
Students had been eagerly waiting for the AP EAPCET results, which were originally expected earlier. However, the announcement was delayed because the authorities decided to wait for the completion of the Intermediate Advanced Supplementary examination evaluation.
This ensured that the revised Intermediate marks could be considered during the normalization process, resulting in a fair and transparent merit list for all candidates.
