Key Factors Affecting AP EAMCET Ranks

The important factors that determine the AP EAMCET Ranks are provided below.

1. AP EAMCET Difficulty Level

2. Number of Candidates Appearing For AP EAMCET

If the number of candidates appearing for the exam is high, then the chances of getting a top rank are low. Fewer candidates means a slightly better chance of getting a better rank with the same score.

3. Qualifying Exam Marks

Since there is a 25% weightage given for Class 12 marks, candidates who get a better score in Class 12 have a better chance of getting a better rank.

4. Candidate Category

Under the TS EAMCET marking scheme, candidates are awarded one mark for every correct answer they select. Since there is no negative marking, unanswered questions or incorrect options simply receive zero marks.
