By HYDERABAD, May 12, 2025: The Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) has released the much-anticipated results of the Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (EAPCET) 2025. This year, the examination witnessed a significant turnout and promising performance trends across both engineering and agriculture & pharmacy streams.
Overall Performance Sees Encouraging Trends
The EAPCET 2025, conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH) on behalf of TSCHE, saw 73% of candidates qualifying in the engineering stream and 87% in the agriculture and pharmacy stream. This marks a positive outcome, especially for students aspiring to join professional courses in Telangana’s reputed colleges and universities.
Officials noted a marginal improvement in success rates compared to the previous year, indicating better preparation and wider access to resources for students, especially those from rural and government school backgrounds.
Stream-wise Statistics
Engineering Stream
- Total students appeared: Over 2.2 lakh
- Qualified candidates: Around 1.6 lakh
- Pass percentage: 73%
The engineering stream saw tight competition with a balanced distribution of top scores among both urban and rural students. With increased focus on digital learning tools and intermediate board support, students showed improved conceptual understanding and exam readiness.
Agriculture and Pharmacy Stream
- Total students appeared: Approximately 1.1 lakh
- Qualified candidates: Nearly 95,000
- Pass percentage: 87%
Students opting for the Agriculture and Pharmacy stream benefited from syllabus alignment and specialized coaching initiatives, particularly those provided in junior colleges and through government-sponsored schemes.
Toppers List and Merit Trends
The TSCHE announced that the top ranks were bagged by students from both private and government institutions, reflecting a diverse academic landscape in the state. Several students from underprivileged backgrounds who received support through the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TSWREIS) made it to the top 100 ranks.
Officials emphasized transparency and fairness in evaluation, with special attention to normalization procedures given the multiple-session exam format.
Gender-wise Performance
Female students continued to perform strongly, especially in the agriculture and pharmacy stream, where they constituted nearly 55% of the qualified candidates. In the engineering stream, male students slightly outnumbered female qualifiers, but the gap narrowed compared to previous years.
District-Wise Breakdown
Districts like Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Warangal, and Karimnagar recorded high pass percentages. However, rural districts such as Adilabad, Mahabubnagar, and Nalgonda showed remarkable improvement in qualification rates, a positive outcome attributed to better access to digital infrastructure and increased awareness.
Counselling and Admission Schedule
The TSCHE will soon release the detailed counselling schedule for admissions into engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy colleges. The counselling will be conducted in multiple phases, allowing students to select colleges and courses based on their rank and category.
Students are advised to keep the following documents ready for the counselling process:
- EAPCET 2025 Rank Card
- Hall Ticket
- Class 10 and Intermediate Marks Sheets
- Transfer Certificate
- Income and Caste Certificates (if applicable)
- Aadhaar and other ID proof
Counselling is expected to begin by June 10, and admissions will be completed before the commencement of the academic year in July 2025.
Support for Students from Marginalized Communities
The Telangana government has reiterated its commitment to supporting students from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Backward Classes (BC), and minority communities through fee reimbursement schemes and scholarships.
Officials also highlighted that a significant number of top-ranking students came from Telangana Model Schools and Gurukulam institutions, showcasing the success of state-run educational reforms.
Expert Advice for Aspirants
Education experts have advised students and parents to prioritize course quality over college popularity during counselling. They also suggest researching job trends, core industry placements, and internship opportunities while selecting engineering and pharmacy streams.
Special caution was given to students exploring emerging fields such as AI, data science, biotechnology, and pharmacy research, urging them to understand the curriculum and future career scope.
Feedback from Students and Parents
Students expressed joy over the timely declaration of results and appreciated the smooth conduct of exams despite a large number of applicants. Many parents praised the government’s efforts in extending free coaching and digital resources to government school students.
One top scorer from Warangal said, “The support from our junior college, especially online mock tests and study materials, helped me secure a high rank. I’m now aiming for a seat in a top engineering college in Hyderabad.”
Conclusion
The Telangana EAPCET 2025 results have brought cheer to thousands of aspiring engineers, agriculturalists, and pharmacists across the state. With a robust qualification rate and growing participation from rural and marginalized sections, the exam has once again highlighted the progress of Telangana’s educational ecosystem.
As students gear up for the next step—counselling and admissions—the government and academic institutions are ensuring that the process remains smooth, inclusive, and merit-driven.
