Students To Get Instant Temp EAPCET Scores

Hyderabad: Students appearing for the Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (EAPCET-2026) will be able to check their temporary scores immediately after the completion of the examination, based on the preliminary answer key. Marks-based ranks of the two previous years will also be uploaded to enable students to get a fair picture of where they stand.

The final marks and ranks will be available after the answer key is finalised, following objections, if any.

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad, which is conducting the test, has decided to display scores based on the preliminary key.

Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, TG EAPCET convener Dr K. Vijaya Kumar Reddy said rank bands from the last two years will be uploaded on the website along with marks scored. This, he explained, will enable students to ascertain their temporary rank based on the preliminary key.

The notification for the exam will be released on Saturday. Registration will commence on February 19 at 11.30 am, and the last date for submission without late fee is April 4.

The convener said the exams will begin on May 4. Candidates who miss the initial deadline may apply until May 2 with late fee. He added that, until now, applications could only be submitted via computers and laptops, but this year the university is making the website mobile‑compatible, allowing registrations through smartphones.

This year, the state has been divided into 16 zones, with Siddipet district added as a new test zone.
