- Check cutoff trends (last 3–5 years)
- Compare branches within the same college
Also read:
| College |
Popular Branches |
Approx. Closing Rank (for OC category) |
|---|---|---|
| CSE, ECE, IT |
600 - 1800 |
|
| CSE, Civil, EEE |
1000 -1600 |
|
| CSE, ECE, Mechanical |
1700 -2100 |
|
| CSE, IT, ECE |
2000 - 2700 |
|
| CSE, ECE |
2500 - 3000 |
For example:
- CSE in JNTUH may close at the rank of 1000-1200
- ECE may go up to 3000
- Mechanical or Civil may extend beyond 6000+
Tip: Don’t go only by last year's closing rank—cutoffs vary depending on seat matrix, student preferences, and competition.
5. Use TS EAMCET Web Counselling Effectively
The TS EAMCET counselling process includes choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification.
Steps to Maximise Your Options:
- Prepare a priority list of at least 25 to 50 options (both ambitious and safe).
- Include top choices first, even if your rank is a bit lower, as there’s no penalty.
- Fill choices based on realistic combinations of rank, branch, and interest.
- Don’t forget to consider location, fees, and college infrastructure.
🎯Pro Tip: Don’t limit yourself to just Hyderabad-based colleges. Explore reputed options in Warangal, Karimnagar, Nalgonda, and other cities.
6. Research Colleges Beyond Rankings
While top colleges like JNTU Hyderabad, OU, CBIT, VNR VJIET, GRIET, Vasavi, and SNIST are popular, also consider:
- Placement records (check average vs highest packages)
- Faculty quality & labs
- Internship opportunities
- Clubs, student activities & alumni network
- Campus life, Wi-Fi, hostel, safety
Sometimes, a lesser-known college with a strong department can be better than a popular college with average faculty in your branch.
7. Scholarships, Fee Reimbursement & Affordability
TS EAMCET allows for tuition fee reimbursement under schemes like:
- TS ePASS for SC/ST/BC/EWS students (TS ePASS (Electronic Payment and Application System of Scholarships) is a Telangana government initiative to provide financial assistance to students from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Backward Classes (BC), and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) to pursue higher education.
- Income-based support
Check:
- If the college is fee-reimbursement eligible
- Hostel & mess charges
- Additional costs (transport, books, devices)
Make sure your college decision is financially sustainable for your family.
8. Future-Proof Your Decision
Choose a branch and college that:
- Aligns with your passion
- Offers scope for upskilling
- Is future-ready (AI, data science, green energy, smart infrastructure)
Also, consider:
- NIRF rankings
- Accreditations like NBA, NAAC
- Availability of on-campus higher studies options (like integrated M.Tech)
9. Talk to Seniors and Alumni
The best insights often come from real students. Reach out via:
- LinkedIn or college Facebook groups
- Friends or relatives already studying there
10. Make an Informed & Personal Choice
At the end of the day, don’t blindly follow trends or go with what your friends choose. You’ll be spending four crucial years in college—so choose what aligns with:
- Your career goals
- Your academic strengths
- Your long-term happiness
Whether it’s AI in Hyderabad or Civil Engineering in Warangal, the right decision is well thought out and true to your aspirations.
Choosing the right college and branch through TS EAMCET is not just about chasing rank; it's about building a future. Understand yourself, research thoroughly, and trust your instincts. With the right mix of passion and planning, you're already on your way to success.
