Dear Aspirants,

Seat allocation in eamcet will be based on open rank only. area rank will be helpful to know about the position in your local area and also you will be given priority when you apply for  a seat in your area and a non local student is competing for the same seat with nearer rank. you will be given priority only if you are eligible to get that seat based on your rank.

refer the below to know further details about eamcet:

Hope you find the answer.

All the best !
