How to Use AP EAPCET Previous Year Papers?
- Work at about 67 seconds a question. 160 questions in 180 minutes. In the Engineering paper, Mathematics has half the questions, so give it about 90 minutes and 45 minutes each to Physics and Chemistry.
- Mark every question. No marks are cut for wrong answers, so never leave a question blank. Make your best guess on the last few before time ends.
- Start with the 2026 and 2025 shifts. 2026 has all 14 shifts with the preliminary key marked. Solve a few shifts from different days, because session marks are normalised.
- Remember your Intermediate marks. Your rank uses 75% of your normalised EAPCET marks and 25% of your Intermediate group-subject marks, so board exam revision also pays.
- Pace yourself to May 2027. About six months remain. Two shift papers a week gets you through every 2023 to 2026 shift of your stream before the test.

Is there negative marking in AP EAPCET?
No. Each correct answer gets 1 mark, and wrong or unanswered questions lose nothing.
Is AP EAPCET the same as AP EAMCET?
Yes. It was renamed AP EAPCET from 2021, when the Medical stream became Agriculture and Pharmacy. The 2017 to 2020 papers here carry the EAMCET name.
Is there an AP EAPCET 2022 question paper?
Not at present. The 2022 papers listed earlier were withdrawn, so every year from 2017 to 2026 except 2022 has papers here.
Do the AP EAPCET papers have answer keys?
Yes. For 2017 to 2020 a separate key is listed with each paper (preliminary keys for 2017). From 2021 the correct options are marked in each master paper, and 2026 carries the preliminary key.
What is the qualifying mark in AP EAPCET?
25% of the marks considered for ranking, which is 40 out of 160. SC and ST candidates have no minimum qualifying mark.
