Previous Year Trends and Competition Level
In recent years, TG EAPCET has seen increasing competition. In 2025, more than 2.8 lakh students registered for the Engineering stream alone. Top ranks continue to prefer Computer Science related branches due to excellent placement opportunities.
However, good opportunities also exist in core engineering branches, Agriculture, Pharmacy, and Biotechnology for students with moderate to good ranks.

Even if your rank is lower than expected, there are still many excellent opportunities available:
- Private colleges with good infrastructure and placements
