As per the official notification, state Education Minister Botsa Satyanarayana announced the declaration of the results at an event in Vijayawada in June 2022. It may be noted that the Andhra Pradesh Engineering Agricultural and Medical Common Entrance Test (AP EAMCET) is now known as AP EAPCET.
The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has released the weightage criteria for the awarded marks in the EAPCET exam as well.
“100% weightage to the marks secured in EAPCET 2022 (Engineering, Agriculture & Pharmacy Common Entrance Test) for determining the overall ranking for the purpose of admissions into professional courses for the Academic Year 2022-23,” the official statement on the APSCHE website reads.
