Hi there! Thanks for reaching out to us at Careers360. I'll do my best to help you out.

Wow, a 3745 rank in GPAT is pretty impressive - congrats on that! As for your chances at Andhra University in Visakhapatnam for M.Pharmacy, that's an interesting question.

Given that you're from the SVU region and have a solid GPAT rank, I'd say you've got a decent shot. But you know how these things can be - it really depends on the competition this year and the number of seats available.

Have you checked out Andhra University's website or contacted their admissions office? They might have more specific info on cut-offs from previous years, which could give you a better idea.

If you'd like, I can try to dig up some more details about their M.Pharmacy program and admission process. Just let me know if that would be helpful. And hey, don't stress too much - with that GPAT rank, I'm sure you'll land a good spot somewhere!

Is there anything else you'd like to know about Andhra University or other M.Pharmacy options in the region?

Area Quotas (AU vs. SVU): Andhra Pradesh is split into the AU area (Andhra University) and the SVU region (Sri Venkateswara University) primarily for educational purposes. A specific proportion of seats are set aside for students from nearby regions (Andhra University's AU region) and a lesser proportion for students from other regions (SVU region in your case).

Considering Non-Local Candidates: If you apply to an AU region university as a candidate from the SVU region, you will be subject to the non-local quota.Approximately 15% of all seats in each program are typically set aside for candidates who are not local. Even below this quota, you have a good chance because to your outstanding rank of 32.

Pay attention to the official counselling alerts and make sure you complete out the choices.

To improve your chances, think about applying to many universities as a backup plan.

Due to the non-local seat quota, the region shouldn't be a big problem, and you're in a good position with your rank.

Wishing you luck!
