JNTU College of Engineering Cut Off Details

As a premier state-run university in Andhra Pradesh, JNTU College of Engineering, Vizianagaram (JNTU-GV) is one of the most sought-after destinations for engineering and management aspirants. Admission to its various undergraduate and postgraduate programs is highly competitive and is primarily determined by state-level entrance examination ranks.

Admission Criteria

Admission to JNTU-GV is strictly merit-based and follows the reservation policies mandated by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

B.Tech (Regular): Selection is based on the rank secured in the AP EAPCET (Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test).
B.Tech (Lateral Entry): Diploma holders can seek direct admission into the second year based on their AP ECET rank.
M.Tech: Admission is granted based on GATE scores or AP PGECET ranks. GATE-qualified candidates are generally prioritized.
MCA: Admission is based on the rank obtained in the AP ICET (Integrated Common Entrance Test).
Reservation Policy: Seats are reserved for various categories, including SC (15%), ST (6%), OBC (29% across sub-groups A-E), and EWS (10%). Additionally, horizontal reservations apply for NCC, Sports, CAP, and PH candidates.

B.Tech Cut-Off Trends (AP EAPCET)

The cut-off for the 2025-26 academic year reflects the high demand for Computer Science and related fields. Ranks vary significantly between branches, with CSE remaining the most competitive.

2025 Expected Closing Ranks (General Category - Home State)

Department	OC Boys (Approx.)	OC Girls (Approx.)
Computer Science & Engineering (CSE)	6,100 – 7,400	5,200 – 6,500
Electronics & Communication (ECE)	6,200 – 7,600	6,500 – 7,800
Information Technology (IT)	9,500 – 20,300	8,500 – 18,000
Electrical & Electronics (EEE)	8,800 – 19,800	12,000 – 21,000
Civil Engineering	21,900 – 25,400	25,000 – 28,000
Mechanical Engineering	16,600 – 25,600	22,000 – 42,900
Metallurgical Engineering	45,100 – 84,800	55,000 – 90,000

Note: The range reflects the shift between Round 1 and Final Phase allotments.

MCA Cut-Off Trends (AP ICET)

The MCA program at JNTU-GV is highly popular, especially for students aiming for careers in the software industry within the North Coastal region.

AP ICET 2024-2025 Closing Ranks

Category	Round 1 Closing Rank	Round 2 Closing Rank
Open Category (General)	1,752	2,244
BC-A	4,259	5,100
BC-D	1,881	2,400
SC	7,500	9,200
ST	10,827	16,655

M.Tech Cut-Off Trends (AP PGECET / GATE)

For M.Tech, the cut-offs are typically lower in terms of rank numbers because the pool of candidates is smaller and more specialized compared to B.Tech.

2024 Closing Ranks (General Category)

M.Tech Specialization	Round 1 Closing Rank
VLSI Design & Embedded Systems	159
Advanced Power Systems	292
Computer Science & Engineering	395
Data Sciences	437
Thermal Engineering	245

Category-Wise and Exam-Wise Trends

The Tech Dominance: Over the last three years (2023–2025), the closing ranks for CSE and ECE have tightened significantly. Students often prefer IT at JNTU-GV over core branches at other top-tier private colleges.
Gender-Specific Trends: In most branches, the "OC Girls" cut-off is slightly more competitive (lower rank number) or highly similar to the "OC Boys" rank, indicating a strong performance by female candidates in the EAPCET.
Core Branch Stability: While Mechanical and Civil engineering have seen a slight relaxation in cut-offs compared to the "IT boom" of 2021, JNTU-GV remains a top-three choice in the state for these disciplines, keeping closing ranks within the top 25,000–30,000 for general candidates.
Local vs. Non-Local: As a state university, a majority of seats are reserved for "Local" candidates (AU region). Non-local candidates (from SVU or OU regions) generally require ranks within the top 5% of their category to secure a seat.

For the most accurate and real-time allotment data, candidates should refer to the APSCHE (Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education) portal during the counseling season at cets.apsche.ap.gov.in.
