Hello! Since you’re from Telangana and have secured a rank of 18,140 in AP EAPCET, you can get admission in Andhra Pradesh engineering colleges, but there are some conditions.

As a Telangana student, you're considered a non-local candidate in Andhra Pradesh unless you meet certain eligibility criteria under the 15% unreserved (open) quota, which is available in all colleges. If you’ve studied for at least 4 consecutive years in Andhra Pradesh, or have a residence certificate issued by AP authorities, you might qualify under local or non-local categories depending on your documents.

With your rank of 18,140, you have a decent chance of getting CSE, ECE, or IT in mid-tier private engineering colleges under the open category. Government or top private colleges may be slightly tough unless you fall under local status or reservation.
