You need to prepare for the Entrance Examination while you are attending coaching classes to perform well in the entrance examination and be able to score decent marks. If you belong to general category you need to score minimum 40 marks or 25% of 160 marks to qualify in AP EAPCET or TS EAMCET. If you belong to SC/ST category there is no qualifying mark, to qualify you need to score non zero positive score. The usefulness of long term coaching will depends on how you utilize time, resources and prepare for the examination.
