Hello,
Yes, you can get a job in other states of India even if you wrote the EAMCET exam.
EAMCET is only for getting admission into colleges in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana for engineering, pharmacy, or agriculture courses. Once you complete your degree, your job opportunities are not limited to your state. You can apply for private or government jobs anywhere in India.
However, for some state government jobs, preference is given to local candidates. But for private companies, central government jobs, or national-level exams like UPSC, SSC, banking, railways, etc., your EAMCET state does not matter.
Hope it helps !
