Admissions Overview
Admission lists are determined through the Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (AP EAPCET) ranking, alongside a dedicated category for direct merit applicants. The college publishes a series of cutoff ranks after each counseling round, reflecting the remaining seat capacity in B.Pharm and Pharm.D streams.
Candidates matching the published cutoff score must report to the administrative block with original academic transcripts and state entrance hall tickets to lock in their allotment. Failure to submit these physical papers within the specified university-mandated window results in the seat reverting to the next candidate on the waiting list.
