Seats will be allotted based on the ranks obtained in this exam. As per the bifurcation law, since the 10-year deadline has expired, all seats for the 2025-26 academic year will be reserved for Andhra Pradesh students only. The 15% unreserved quota seats previously allocated to Telangana have been canceled. Additionally, AICTE has allowed colleges to increase the number of seats based on infrastructure availability, which may lead to an increase in Engineering seats this year.
