Hey there! If you’re aiming for B.Sc. Food Technology at JNTU Kakinada, I’ve got some news: after looking into it, it seems they actually offer B.Tech in Food Technology (or Food Engineering) instead of B.Sc. I think there might be a mix-up, but don’t worry, I’ll guide you through.

For B.Tech Food Technology, you’ll need to have taken the AP EAMCET 2025 exam. The results were declared on June 8, 2025, so check your score if you’ve appeared for it. The counselling process, where seats are allotted based on your rank and preferences, starts in the first week of July 2025 . Make sure to register and choose JNTU Kakinada as an option if you’re eligible.

Eligibility and Course Details

You’ll need to have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology/Biotechnology) with at least 45% marks (40% for reserved categories) to be eligible for AP EAMCET. The B.Tech program is a four-year course under the School of Food Technology, focusing on food science, processing, and quality control, with modern labs and experienced faculty.

JNTUK Kakinada does not offer B.Sc. Food Technology course. It offers B.Tech in Food Technology through AP EAPCET exam. For B.Sc. Food Technology, you can try other universities in Andhra Pradesh.

hi,

If you’re looking for government colleges that offer Food Technology through lateral entry, there are a few good ones you should check out. Colleges like NIFTEM Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu), Jadavpur University (West Bengal), and CFTRI Mysore are really solid. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and CAEPHT in Sikkim are also known for their Food Tech programs.

For lateral entry, you usually need to have a diploma in a related field. Admission is mostly through state-level counselling or entrance exams like JELET (West Bengal), LEET (Haryana), or other state-specific ones. Make sure to check the official websites of these colleges for exact cutoff lists and eligibility.

Dear Candidate ,
With a JEE Main Rank of 251,208 admission to B. Tech Food Technology at NIFTEM Thanjavur is not possible , as their closing rank is around 95,000. Consider Karnataka state counseling ( KEA ) for other colleges or private colleges accepting your rank .

Hii,

Depending on the college and the nation, food technology course costs can vary significantly. Private colleges in India typically charge between 50,000 and 2,00,000 annually. Government colleges are less expensive, sometimes costing between 10,000 and 50,000 annually.

Additional costs might apply for labs, books, and other items. Before applying, always verify the precise costs on the college's website.

A cutoff of 145 for B.Tech Food Technology at Government College of Technology (GCT), Coimbatore is considered excellent.

Why 145 is Excellent:

For General Category students, a cutoff of 145 is significantly lower than the typical closing ranks for Food Technology at GCT, which are usually much higher.

The closing rank for Food Technology in GCT was around 17,230 in previous years, so your rank of 145 places you well within the top candidates.

Hi dear candidate,

You are very close to the minimum cut off for your particular course and you do have chances to get admission in Anna University however, the admission can not be guaranteed even though food and technology courses are not so competitive.

You should try applying for TN state quota if you are eligible for it.
