TELANGANA PGECET MARKS WISE RANKS IN 2026#jntuhyderabad

Main ideas / lessons conveyed

• The speaker discusses expectations for Telangana PGECET / PG Set (2026) admissions for M.Tech and M.Pharmacy, especially how marks relate to ranks across different branches.
• Competition trend (key claim):
  • The number of PGSET takers is increasing every year, so competition may rise again in 2026.
  • However, for many branches, the speaker suggests competition is “lighter compared to the past”, meaning lower ranks may be achievable with moderate marks.
• Why demand and competition are changing (as explained):
  • During 2020–2023, M.Tech/M.Pharmacy admissions were said to be lower, attributed to lockdown-era conditions and B.Tech graduates shifting toward software jobs.
  • Since around 2022, interest in software jobs is said to have decreased slightly, leading more students to pursue higher education, increasing PGSET takers.
  • The speaker also claims marriage choices are less prioritised, with more interest in government jobs or higher studies (though the transcription is inconsistent and unclear in places).

Method / instruction-style content (marks-to-rank guidance)

The speaker provides branch-wise approximate rank ranges using mark bands, repeatedly contrasting:

• Past trends
• Last year mentioned as 2025
• Implied outlook for 2026 (generally: some branches remain competitive; others remain lighter)

Note: The transcription appears inconsistent in a few places, so some rank values/bands may be partially unclear.

Branches covered

• The video says it will cover only core branches (not all specializations are available in all colleges).

1) Civil Engineering (M.Tech)

General idea:

• Lower marks generally mean higher ranks (i.e., competition becomes worse for seats, so rank numbers increase).

Past-style example bands (as stated):

• <35: “no rank” isn’t clearly stated, but later examples imply cutoff-based eligibility
• 35–39: rank in 2000s
• 40: rank about 40 (text unclear)
• 41–44: rank around 1400 (banding inconsistent in transcription)
• 46–49: rank around 900
• ≥50: rank around 400

Last-year claim (Civil, 2025):

• 30–35: ~1900
• 36–40: ~1500
• 41–44: ~900
• 46–49: ~400
• ≥51: ~200

2026 outlook:

• Competition should continue similarly and may decrease further.

2) Computer Science & Information Technology (CSE / IT group)

Past-style example bands (speaker):

• 30–34: ~3500
• 36–39: ~2500
• 41–44: ~1500
• 46–49: ~800
• ≥51: ~400

Last-year claim (2025):

• 30–35: ~6500
• 36–39: ~4500
• 41–44: ~2800
• 46–49: ~800
• ≥51: ~400
• Mentions 49 people and 51+ with rank around 629 (unclear transcription, but used to argue rising competition)

Competition conclusion:

• Speaker says competition increased (ranks worsen for similar marks vs earlier years).

2026 outlook:

• Implied to remain relatively competitive compared to some other branches.

3) Electrical Engineering (EC / EEE mentioned as “electrical engineering”)

Past-style bands (speaker):

• 30–34: ~1400
• 35–39: ~800
• 40–44: ~350
• 41–44: ~160 (transcript overlap/confusion)
• ≥50: ~70th rank (approx stated)

Last-year claim (2025):

• 30–34: ~1500
• 36–39: ~1000
• 41–44: ~600
• 46–49: ~350
• After that: ~200 (suggests slightly lighter competition)

Conclusion:

• Competition increased, but not dramatically.

4) Electronics & Communication Engineering (EC)

Past-style bands:

• >30: ~1700
• >35: ~900
• >40: ~300
• >44: ~49
• >50: ~38 (and intermediate values cited)

Last-year claim (2025):

• >30: ~2000
• 35–39: ~1000 to 10100 (unclear transcription)
• up to 44: ~400
• 49: ~130
• Beyond: ~48

Conclusion:

• Slight increase in competition, but “not that much.”

---

5) Mechanical Engineering (Mech)

Past-style example bands:

• ~30: ~600
• ~35: ~300
• ~40+: ~200
• ~45+: ~90
• ~53+: rank around ?? (transcript cuts/changes)

Last-year claim (2025):

• Ranks were described with lower numbers than before, used to argue competition became lighter.
• Final conclusion from speaker: competition has become light
• Reason given (inferred): fewer people opt for M.Tech in mechanical, so competition is lighter.

6) Mining Engineering

Past-style:

• Speaker mentions relatively low ranks for various scores (e.g., 76, 70, 60, 50—values referenced without full context).

Last-year / current claims:

• >30: ~90
• >35: ~80
• >40: ~75
• >50: ~48th rank

Conclusion:

• Mining rank cutoffs improved vs past (speaker implies increasing demand, but competition remains manageable overall).

7) Pharmacy-related (B.Pharmacy → M.Pharmacy)

Major theme:

• Pharmacy has become much more competitive.

Past-style bands:

• ~30: ~7000
• ~35: ~6000
• ~40: ~4000
• ~45: ~2500
• ≥50: ~1200

Last-year claim (2025):

• >30: rank crossed 7000
• >35: rank crossed 6000
• >40: rank crossed 4500
• >45: rank crossed 3000
• ≥50: rank crossed ~1500

Final takeaway on pharmacy competition:

• Speaker says “full competition in pharmacy” and also “full competition in CSCI” (as written in transcript).
• Other branches are described as comparatively lighter.

Seat expectation guidance (overall)

• Overall suggestion:
  • If you get a rank below 100, you may get a university seat, because competition has reduced a lot.
• Nuance mentioned:
  • Category-wise cutoffs and seat-allocation calculations may differ from the overall comparison (the transcript notes a “different calculation” for category-wise consideration).
