JNTUK Kakinada All Questions

Hey! With a 27,000 rank in EAMCET and being a BC-B girl, honestly it will be very tough to get ECE in top government colleges like Andhra University, JNTUK Kakinada, or JNTU Vizianagaram, because their cutoff for BC category in ECE usually closes somewhere around 3,000–4,000 rank.

But still, don’t lose hope. You might get chances in some other colleges like JNTUA (Anantapur) or Rajiv Gandhi University (RGUKT) in later rounds, especially under BC-B female quota. Sometimes seats open up in 2nd/3rd counseling when higher rank students shift.

My suggestion:

Definitely attend all rounds of counseling.

Keep a mix of preferences (top colleges + other govt. colleges).

If ECE doesn’t work out, also keep backup options like IT or EE in mind.

Hey Praveen,

Thanks for reaching out!

With a rank of 17,600 in AP EAPCET inder the BC-D category, getting CSE in AUCE,JNTUK or JNTUA is quite unlikely,as their closing rank for B-CD usually ranges below 6,000 - 10,000. However, you have a good chance of getting CSE at SRM University AP and SVC as their closing ranks often go beyond 20,000 for BC-D.To improve your chances consider related branches like IT,CSM etc and fill your web options wisely,giving preference to slightly newer but promising colleges.

Dear Aspirant,

With an overall EAMCET rank of 4561, a local area rank of 3530, and a local female rank of 973, plus eligibility under the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) reservation, you have a good chance of getting a seat in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at JNTU Kakinada in the first round of counseling. JNTU Kakinada is one of the top engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh, and CSE is its most competitive branch. However, in recent years, EWS and female candidates have received CSE seats even with ranks slightly higher than yours, especially under the local area quota. Your rank profile places you well within the expected cutoff range, which makes your chances favorable. Still, it’s wise to include backup options like IT or ECE at JNTU Kakinada or CSE at other leading colleges such as JNTU Vizianagaram or Andhra University College of Engineering, in case the cutoffs change slightly this year.

Best wishes

Expected closing ranks at JNTUK for CSE are

• General: around 2000 to 5000
• SC: upto 6500
• ST: upto 3000

Dear Aspirant,

With a rank of 63,000 in AP EAPCET 2025, your chances of getting a seat at JNTU Kakinada depend on the branch you want. In recent years, the overall closing rank for B.Tech admissions at JNTUK has reached around 89,000. This means your rank is within the eligible range for admission. However, competitive branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) usually close at much lower ranks, often below 8,000 for the general category. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will secure a seat in these top branches at the main campus with your current rank. That said, you may still have a chance for seats in less competitive branches such as Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, especially in later rounds of counselling. More seats often become available due to withdrawals or reallocations. It is a good idea to participate actively in all rounds of counselling and to fill in a wide range of branch options to improve your chances. You might also consider JNTUK-affiliated colleges where the cutoff ranks for similar branches are higher.

Best of Luck

With a rank of 347 in AP PGECET, you have a very good chance of getting a free (tuition fee–reimbursed) seat in JNTU Kakinada or other government colleges. Generally, ranks below 1000 are considered strong for admission into top branches in government engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh. Your rank is well within the usual cut-off range for most M.Tech programs in JNTUK, especially if you belong to a reserved category or choose a less competitive branch.

To get a free seat, you must also satisfy the eligibility criteria for fee reimbursement under the Andhra Pradesh state government scheme. This usually includes factors like family income below a certain limit and not being employed in a government or private job.

Hi dear candidate,

This is a common question that floats in brains of many people. The fact is that yes, to some extent your college/ university does give a positive impression on the interviewer if you have studies from a reputed college.

But at the end, it all depends on your skills, achievements and answerability in front of the interviewer to the questions being asked to you.
