Hey there! Welcome to the Careers360 Forum! Always cool to have fresh faces around here.

So, you scored an 8.5k rank in EAPCET , not too shabby at all, especially in the BC category. Congrats on that!

Now, about fisheries... that's an interesting choice! It's not the most common pick, which could work in your favor. With that rank, you've got a decent shot, I'd say. But you know how these things go - it can depend on a bunch of factors like the number of seats, how many folks are gunning for it this year, and all that jazz.

Tell you what, why don't we dig into this a bit more? We could pull up the cut-off ranks from last year for fisheries programs - that'll give us a better idea of where you stand. I think we've got that data somewhere in our systems.

Also, have you got any specific colleges in mind for fisheries? Or are you open to options? Knowing that could help us narrow things down.

Oh, and just curious - what got you interested in fisheries? Always fun to hear what draws people to different fields.

Let me know what you think, and we can start crunching some numbers to see where you might land. It'll be good practice for both of us, right?

The chances of getting a seat in fisheries through EAPCET with a rank of 8.5k (BC category) depend on several factors, including:

• Number of available seats: The number of seats allocated to fisheries colleges in Andhra Pradesh varies each year.
• Cut-off ranks: The cut-off ranks for fisheries admission change depending on the number of applicants, their ranks, and the category they belong to.
• College preferences: You need to strategically choose your college preferences based on their previous year's cut-off ranks and your rank.

While it may be challenging to predict your exact chances with a rank of 8.5k, you can increase your possibilities by:

• Participating in all counseling rounds: Don't miss any counseling round, as seats may become available in later stages.
• Exploring different college options: Consider colleges in different regions or those with lower cut-offs for fisheries.
• Keeping track of seat allotment results: Regularly check the EAPCET website for updates on seat allotment and availability.

It's important to note that securing a seat in fisheries through EAPCET requires careful planning and strategy. You may need to consider alternative options or explore other fields if you don't get a seat in your preferred college or region.
