Hello,

With a GPAT rank of 3745 and belonging to the SVU (Sri Venkateswara University) region, your chances of securing a seat in Andhra University, Visakhapatnam for M.Pharmacy are moderate but not guaranteed.

Andhra University is a top-tier institution, and admissions depend on factors like seat availability, category reservations, and annual cutoff trends.

For general category candidates, the cutoff is typically lower (better rank), while reserved categories may have more lenient cutoffs.

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:

  1. Check Cutoffs: Look at previous year cutoffs for both GPAT and TS PGECET for JNTUH M.Pharm Pharmacology.
  2. Consider Reservations: If you belong to a reserved category, your TS PGECET rank can significantly improve your chances.
  3. 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!!
