Getting In
Securing a place here primarily runs through the regional AP EAPCET counseling system. The college registers its branch-wise cutoffs after each allocation round, meaning your branch selection depends heavily on your state rank and the general demand among applicants in the Rayalaseema belt during that academic term.
Once you see your name on the state allotment list, the next step requires physically arriving at the Balaji Nagar administrative office to present your original marksheets and complete the registration paperwork. If you are targeting a seat under the management quota, you must engage with the administration directly to check available vacancies against your intermediate board percentages.
