i got 1357 rank in ap pgecet i am bc category girl can i get a seat in mpharmacy in pharmacology department
Hello,
With a rank of 1357 in AP PGECET, you have a good chance of securing a seat in the M.Pharmacy program, particularly in the Pharmacology department. However, seat availability can vary depending on the institution and the category-wise cut-offs. Since you’re in the BC category, you might have a slight advantage in securing a seat compared to general category students. It’s a good idea to check the specific cut-off ranks for the colleges you’re interested in and consult the latest counseling details for the most accurate information.
Hope it helps !
how much GPAT rank do i required to secure a seat in JNTUH (M.Pharm - Pharmacology) my gpat rank is 2157 and my TS pgecet rank is 79 which one should i choose(will i get a seat in jntuh?) can anyone reply fastt
With a GPAT rank of 2157, securing a seat in JNTUH M.Pharm Pharmacology might be challenging, especially for the general category. However, your TS PGECET rank of 79 can be advantageous if you belong to a reserved category.
To make an informed decision:
- Check Cutoffs: Look at previous year cutoffs for both GPAT and TS PGECET for JNTUH M.Pharm Pharmacology.
- Consider Reservations: If you belong to a reserved category, your TS PGECET rank can significantly improve your chances.
- Explore Other Options: If the chances seem low, consider other colleges or specializations within pharmacy.
Ultimately, participating in both counseling processes (GPAT and TS PGECET) would be advisable to explore all possibilities.
Remember, cutoff ranks can fluctuate yearly, so stay updated with the latest information.
hope this helps you!!
