Study Plan to Maximise Score

Preparation Tips

Students can prepare themselves for the AP EAPCET exam by following these points:

• Regular study through test books (List of recommended books given in “Study Plan to Maximise Score” section)
• Practise mock tests regularly that are provided on the official website.
• Embibe Tests: Embibe has designed various tests suitable for this exam. Candidates can go through those and find the gap that they have during the preparation phase. Refer to the Embibe website.
• Embibe mock tests: These tests are different from the test said above. These mock tests are tailor-made to handle AP EAPCET or similar competitive engineering entrance exams. Refer to the Embibe website. All those modes of preparation are freely available.
• Apart from all those, Embibe has an expert pool of faculty available who will be available for consultation round the clock for any help, advice and guidance at a nominal subscription.

Exam-taking Strategy

Students can follow these exam-taking strategies in engineering exam:

• Start with the sections in which you have better knowledge.
• Solve questions and mark the correct answer.
• If any question takes time to solve then move to the next one.
• Check the timer from time to time so that you can know how much time is remaining.
• Finally, do not panic and remain calm throughout the exam.

Recommended Chapters & Topics

In general, in order to have a good score and rank to secure admission into an engineering stream in a reputed college, a candidate cannot afford to leave any section out. But, there are some chapters or some topics that are more important for the exam than others.

The Embibe talent team studied the last 5 years papers, analysed them thoroughly, and came out with a list of chapters/ topics which should be given a little bit extra weightage than others. Check important chapters/ topics for AP EAMCET below:

Previous Year Analysis

Previous Year Papers

Going through previous years papers brings in the following benefits to candidates:

• Candidates understand the nature and type of questions
• A tentative distribution of questions from different sections
• They can know the difficulty level of questions and hence, prioritising different questions for answering
• Candidates get a sense of how to answer all questions in the allotted time

Going through the previous years papers and actually solving them forms an important part of the preparation strategy. Until 2020 the exam was called AP EAMCET, which included medical along with engineering. From last year, i.e., 2021, the medical entrance is separated and the new name of the exam is AP EAPCET. Along with engineering, this exam covers Agriculture and Pharmacy also. Hence, for the previous years engineering papers, candidates have to look for thequestion papers for 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 etc.

Exam Counselling

Student Counselling

The decision of selecting the proper career path after the 12th is the toughest decision for any student. While making a career decision, students are always in a dilemma whether to enrol for courses by following herd mentality or taking the foremost popular courses or selecting a course as per what their parents force them to require or just following your friends and selecting that specific career path. The majority of the students choose courses without correctly evaluating their own strengths, weaknesses and interests. The choice they once took out of peer pressure is turned out to be wrong, and then they try to change their career later. Few people succeed in doing that, but most people had no other option but to accept whatever they had chosen earlier.

Parent/Guardian Counselling

Instead of blindly selecting a career path, it's very important to be certain and assured about selecting the right path. Thus that's where the parents/guardians should assist the students. It's time for college kids and specifically parents to understand that not every student is cut bent to be a doctor, engineer or CA. Rather than blindly selecting a career stream, it might be beneficial to satisfy a career counsellor who can guide you towards evaluating your abilities and supply career options that suit you.

Parent Counselling

Parent Counselling

Choosing a career after 11-12 grade study is an important step for every student. Students should choose this extremely carefully after analysing their strengths, weaknesses etc. Generally, students go crazy about it and are vulnerable to making mistakes. It creates mental and physical pressure and stress on them in handling and managing studies of the basic 11-12 board exam and preparing for different competitive exams. It is not easy to handle this pressure and stress. 

Parents have to play a very critical role in helping their kids at this important time. They should always create a healthy and comfortable environment for the kid and help him manage the stress. 

Some parents also come under tension along with the students and put additional pressure on the student. Expectations mounting on themselves for their kids. This creates extra mental pressure on the student. The parents should never do that.

Cut-Off Predictor

Cut-off Predictor Pre Final Exam

Candidates will be able to check the engineering cut-off of previous years through the official website. By knowing the AP EAPCET engineering cut-off of a few previous years, the candidates will be able to know the AP EAPCET 2022 ranks required to have higher chances of admission into their desired institute. This helps the students to fill the choice filling of different engineering streams and colleges properly.

Candidates can also have a better understanding of the AP EAPCET admission process. The last phase of the AP EAPCET exam for engineering is conducted as per the schedule. Therefore, the cut-off post-final exam, based on students' input, is not available yet.

Practical Knowledge/Career Goals

Learning from Real World

Engineering is all about applying theoretical knowledge into practice. Developments in engineering technological areas are happening in every field, in every area of engineering/technology. Engineering was present in the prehistoric era when people learnt how to produce fire by hitting one rock with the other. We are producing fire in different techniques nowadays. Is that the end? No, newer techniques of producing fire will be developed for sure through added applications.

If we look at the different engineering disciplines available in the engineering colleges/universities throughout the world, we get a few hundred of them. Every day some new branch of engineering is taking birth from its parent subject. It is an ongoing process.

Every engineering branch has its own importance and application in its own area. Over the last hundreds of years, only some of them have developed more than the others, depending on the needs of the industry and society at large. But the fact remains that every engineering has its own areas of application and all the branches have equal importance. It is extremely important to understand and accept it because some of the students and their parents as well have a wrong idea that some engineering disciplines have better opportunities than others.

Future Skills

There are a few hundred engineering disciplines available nowadays. And engineering jobs are available in areas like the following:

1. Planning
2. Research and development
3. Production
4. Maintenance and support
5. Quality control
6. Sales and marketing
7. Purchase
8. Inventory management

Different skill sets are needed for each category of job for each discipline of engineering. At the time of filling the choice of seats for the engineering discipline, it is extremely important that the student explores themselves as to their alignment towards their existing skillset, whereas some of the specific skill set will be developed as they pass through their institutional syllabus and training.

Skills to be developed by all the engineering students: Coding, Software development, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Autocad, PhotoShop, etc.

Apart from the skills that are mentioned above, in general, all the engineers, irrespective of their discipline and functional area, need the following skills to perform in their work:

Career Skills

When a student is preparing and writing for the AP EAPCET 2022 engineering exam, it is extremely important to explore if they really have an engineering mind or he/she is writing the exam just for the sake of writing, simply because others are writing. At a later stage, many engineers are not liking their profession and try to switch their career to some other subject. Hence, when writing the AP EAPCET engineering exam, having a mind to accept engineering as a career is important. All other specific skills to perform the engineering job that he wishes to be in, maybe developed in due course.

Career Prospects/Which stream to choose?

More than 100 engineering disciplines are available to pick in various engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (about 400 in number). Every engineering discipline has its own importance in its area. Hence, the students and their parents, friends, relatives and well-wishers should be consulted thoroughly before filling the choice when the online choice filling and seat allocation process starts.
