i got 598/600 in groups and 40 marks in emcet and had written the exam on 18 may shift 2 which is different what is my expected rank

Assuming you're referring to AP EAPCET (formerly AP EAMCET) , since you mentioned:

• Intermediate group marks: 598/600

• EAPCET marks: 40

• Exam date: 18 May, Shift 2 (which you feel was comparatively difficult)

AP EAPCET ranks are calculated using 75% weightage for normalized EAPCET marks and 25% weightage for normalized Intermediate group marks . Since you have an excellent 598/600 (99.7%) in Intermediate, your board marks will significantly improve your overall rank. Also, because the exam is conducted in multiple shifts, normalization is applied, so if your shift was indeed more difficult, your normalized score may increase slightly.

Based on previous trends and the information you provided, your expected rank is likely to be around 18,000–30,000 , with a reasonable possibility of being closer to the lower end of that range if normalization works in your favor. This is only an estimate—the final rank depends on the normalization outcome and the performance of other candidates.

If you tell me your:

• Category (OC/BC-A/BC-B/SC/ST/EWS),

• Gender , and

• Preferred course (CSE, ECE, AI, etc.),

I can also estimate which colleges you are likely to get with that expected rank.
