What is the qualifying mark for TG EAPCET?

You need 25% of the maximum normalized marks, which is 40 out of 160, to get a rank. SC and ST candidates have no minimum qualifying mark.

Is the TS EAMCET cut-off based on marks or rank?

Both. The qualifying cut-off is in marks, while college admission depends on closing ranks, which differ by college, branch, category and gender and are published by the counselling authority after each phase.

What rank can I expect with 60 marks in TG EAPCET?

In the official 2025 table, 60 and above normalized marks matched an Engineering rank band of 9,227 to 14,418. Bands change every year, so use this only as a rough guide.

Where can I find official TG EAPCET closing ranks?

The counselling website tgeapcet.nic.in publishes last rank statements for each phase, listing closing ranks for every college, branch, category and gender.

TG EAPCET (TS EAMCET) Cut-off: Qualifying Marks, Ranks

The TG EAPCET cut-off, still searched as the TS EAMCET cut-off, works at two levels. First there is a qualifying mark you need to get a rank at all. Then, during counselling, each college and branch closes at a different rank for each category and gender, which is the closing rank or last rank.

This page gives the official qualifying marks, the marks versus rank bands JNTUH published, and indicative closing ranks from the official TG EAPCET 2025 final phase last rank statement. Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, seat matrix and the number of candidates, so treat these figures as a benchmark only.

TG EAPCET qualifying marks

Category	Qualifying marks (normalized, out of 160)
All categories except SC and ST	25% of maximum marks, which is 40 marks
SC and ST	No minimum qualifying mark; admission limited to reserved seats

To take part in engineering counselling, you also need 45% (OC) or 40% (other categories) in your Intermediate group subjects.

Normalized marks versus rank

JNTUH released this table with the 2026 results, based on candidates' performance in the 2025 and 2024 tests. Labels follow the official table.

Normalized marks	E rank band 2025	AP rank band 2025	E rank band 2024
80 and above	Below 2,613	Below 2,726	Below 3,706
75 and above	2,614 to 3,995	2,727 to 4,628	3,707 to 5,459
70 and above	3,996 to 6,104	4,629 to 7,182	5,460 to 8,076
65 and above	6,105 to 9,226	7,183 to 10,536	8,077 to 12,047
60 and above	9,227 to 14,418	10,537 to 15,011	12,048 to 18,355
55 and above	14,419 to 24,028	15,012 to 21,744	18,356 to 29,789
50 and above	24,029 to 44,121	21,745 to 32,151	29,790 to 53,970
45 and above	44,122 to 82,343	32,152 to 46,572	53,971 to 1,02,397
40 and above	82,344 to 1,35,462	46,573 to 61,764	1,02,398 to 1,64,862

The same normalized score gave a better E stream rank in 2025 than in 2024, which shows how much bands can move between years.

Indicative closing ranks, 2025 final phase

These closing ranks are taken from the official TG EAPCET 2025 Last Rank Statement (final phase) for a few well-known colleges. They are for the OC category only and are indicative, since every category, gender, college and branch has its own closing rank, and the 2026 figures may differ.

College	Branch	OC Boys	OC Girls
JNTUH University College of Engineering, Science and Technology, Hyderabad	CSE	1,228	1,277
Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology, Gandipet	CSE	2,053	2,471
Vasavi College of Engineering, Hyderabad	CSE	2,292	2,358
OU College of Engineering, Hyderabad	CSE	2,547	2,547
Gokaraju Rangaraju Institute of Engineering and Technology, Bachupally	CSE	4,184	4,546
OU College of Engineering, Hyderabad	ECE	4,549	4,568
Vasavi College of Engineering, Hyderabad	ECE	6,206	6,206
OU College of Engineering, Hyderabad	EEE	8,322	8,322
KU College of Engineering and Technology, Warangal	CSE	18,864	18,864

Category-wise figures for every college, including BC, SC, ST and EWS columns, are in the official TG EAPCET 2025 final phase last rank statement. The 2026 phase-wise statements were not listed on the counselling website when this page was written.

What affects the cut-off

Paper difficulty: A tougher paper lowers scores, so the same rank needs fewer marks.
Number of candidates: More candidates in your score range push ranks for every mark further down.
Seats and branches: New seats or branches in popular colleges can relax closing ranks, and cuts can tighten them.
Category and gender: Each reservation category has separate closing ranks for boys and girls.
Counselling phase: Closing ranks move between the first, second and final phase as candidates join, withdraw or slide.

How to set your target

Pick the colleges and branches you want, find their last two years of closing ranks for your category, and use the marks versus rank table to convert that rank into a score. Then aim for a clear margin above that score rather than a bare pass.
