Introduction:
AP EAPCET which stands for Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance
Test. is a state-level entrance examination conducted by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University
(JNTU) on behalf of the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE). Earlier, EAPCET
was called Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture, and Medical Common Entrance Test (AP EAMCET).
The exam is conducted for admission to various professional courses in the fields of engineering,
agriculture, and pharmacy in colleges and universities across Andhra Pradesh.

0
Under the engineering stream, candidates can apply for admission to courses like B.Tech, B.E, and

36
B.Pharm. Under the agriculture and medical stream, candidates can apply for admission to courses like
B.Sc. Agriculture, B.Sc. Horticulture, B.V.Sc. & A.H, B.F.Sc., B.Pharm, and Pharm.D.

The AP EAPCET exam will be held annually, and candidates who meet the AP EAPCET eligibility criteria
can fill the AP EAPCET application form. The AP EAPCET exam consists of multiple-choice questions,

S
and the duration of the exam is three hours. The syllabus of the exam is based on the topics covered in
the 10+2 curriculum of the state board of Andhra Pradesh.
R
The AP EAPCET exam is highly competitive, and candidates need to prepare well to secure a good

QUALIFYING MARKS FOR AP EAPCET –

C

The qualifying percentage of marks for AP EAPCET- is 25% of the maximum marks considered for
ranking. This means that a candidate must score at least 25% of the maximum marks in the AP EAPCET-
examination to be eligible for admission. However, for candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribe categories, there is no minimum qualifying mark prescribed. But their admission will be
limited to the extent of seats reserved for such categories as per the government order dated 16.06.1986.

What is Normalisation?
Normalization is a process adopted in Indian examinations to ensure that students are not advantaged or
disadvantaged by the difficulty level of the exam in multiple sessions. The process involves ranking all
candidates across all sessions on a comparative scale. This is done to create a level playing field for all
students. The normalization process is based on a formula recommended by experts from reputed

39
www.careers360.com
educational institutions at the national level. The process is implemented in nationwide entrance tests for
admission into undergraduate and graduate professional courses. In this process, marks of the easier
session may be reduced marginally and marks of the harder session may increase marginally, depending
on the average performance in each session. Normalizing marks justifies the candidates while protecting
their actual performance. The marks obtained by the students after normalization are used to determine
their merit rank in the exam.

AP EAPCET marks Normalization Process:

The AP EAPCET normalization process is used to ensure that the scores of candidates are fair and
justifiable, especially for those who have taken a more challenging paper compared to others. The
normalization process involves calculating the average and standard deviation of the marks obtained by
all the candidates in each session of the exam. Based on this, the marks obtained by each candidate are

0
normalized.

The formula for normalization of marks is as follows:

36
S
Here, the average marks of the session refer to the average marks obtained by all the candidates in a
R
particular session of the exam. The global average and standard deviation are the overall average and
standard deviation of all the candidates who appeared for the exam.
E
By using this normalization process, the EAPCET committee ensures that the scores of candidates are
comparable across different sessions of the exam and the final merit list is prepared in a fair and just
manner.

which the candidate belongs to

C

Weightage for assigning merit ranks:

The weightage for assigning merit ranks in AP EAPCET is 75% of the normalized marks obtained in the
exam and 25% of the marks obtained in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination (Intermediate
or equivalent). In case of candidates who have qualified in AP EAPCET, if their normalized marks in any
subject(s) become negative after normalization, those marks are treated as zero, and the total marks in
three subjects are considered for preparing the rank. For candidates who have not qualified in the exam,
if their normalized marks in all three subjects become negative after normalization, the total marks are
treated as zero, and the rank is assigned based on that. In case of a tie in ranks, the normalized marks
obtained in AP EAPCET , even if negative, are considered for breaking the tie. It is important to note that
the merit rank assigned to a candidate based on the weightage calculation will be the final rank, and no
further changes will be made.

AP EAPCET Cutoff
AP EAPCET Cutoff will be released after the declaration of the results. The cutoff is the minimum score
required by a candidate to be eligible for admission to various participating colleges and courses. The
cutoff is determined based on factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates
appearing for the exam, the number of available seats, and the category of the candidate. The cutoff is
different for different colleges and courses, and candidates who score below the cutoff are not eligible for
admission.

Candidates who score above the cutoff marks are eligible for admission to the participating institutes.

0
However, admission to the institutes is not solely based on the cutoff marks. The participating institutes
also consider various other factors such as academic record, extracurricular activities, and personal
interview performance.

36
It is important for candidates to note that the cutoff scores vary from year to year and also from institute to
institute. The cutoff scores for each year are released after the announcement of the AP EAPCET result.
Candidates are advised to check the cutoff scores of the participating institutes before applying for the
courses.
