AP EAPCET is conducted by JNTU Kakinada on behalf of APSCHE. The Agriculture & Pharmacy stream runs as a separate slot from the Engineering stream and is the gateway to B.Pharm and Pharm.D admissions in Andhra Pradesh pharmacy colleges (the same exam also appears in the Engineering section because it covers agriculture/pharmacy seats).
