Schedule Changed Again — Here’s What’s Different Now

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has revised the Phase 1 Counselling Schedule for AP EAPCET 2026 (formerly AP EAMCET), pushing back key deadlines from the original timeline that was announced alongside the counselling notification on 16 July 2026. The Online Registration and Processing Fee Payment window has now been extended to 1 August 2026 (from the earlier 29 July deadline), with corresponding shifts across Certificate Verification, Web Options Entry, and ultimately the Seat Allotment date itself, now set for 9 August 2026.

Good to Know: This isn’t the first schedule revision this cycle — timelines have shifted more than once as APSCHE works through the process, so always double-check the live dates on cap.apcfss.in rather than relying purely on earlier news reports, including this one, as things progress.

AP EAPCET Counselling Fee 2026

Note: These figures are based on the current 2026 counselling cycle as reported alongside the revised schedule — always confirm the exact amount on the official payment page before proceeding.

How Your AP EAPCET Rank Was Calculated — The 75:25 Formula

  • Andhra Pradesh uses a 75:25 weightage merit formula to determine your final engineering rank
  • 75% Weightage: Your normalised AP EAPCET entrance exam score
  • 25% Weightage: Your Intermediate (IPE) marks in the core group subjects — Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry
  • Because of this formula, even a small revision in your Intermediate marks (for example, through recounting or reverification) can meaningfully shift your final rank — sometimes by thousands of positions

Good to Know: The recent release of Intermediate Advanced Supplementary Recounting and Reverification results by the Board of Intermediate Education has already brought relief to many candidates — even a 5-15 mark increase in your board exam score can meaningfully boost your normalised EAPCET rank once it feeds into this formula.

Documents Required for Certificate Verification

  • AP EAPCET 2026 Rank Card / Hall Ticket
  • Intermediate (IPE) Marks Memo & Pass Certificate
  • SSC (Class 10) Marks Memo — Date of Birth Proof
  • Transfer Certificate (TC) & Study Certificates (for local status verification)
  • Income Certificate (if applying for fee reimbursement)
  • Category Certificate (SC/ST/BC/EWS, if applicable, in AP Government format)
  • Aadhaar Card / Valid Photo ID Proof
  • Recent Passport-size Photographs
  • Migration Certificate (if applicable, for candidates from Boards outside Andhra Pradesh)

Your Action Plan for the Weeks Ahead

  • Now – 1 August: Complete registration and fee payment; don’t wait for the very last day given how server load builds up near deadlines
  • Now – 2 August: Book your slot and complete Certificate/HLC Verification — this is a mandatory gate before you can lock in web options
  • 25 July – 3 August: Research previous years’ cutoff ranks for your target colleges/branches, then carefully fill and submit your web options in genuine order of preference
  • 4 August: Use the change-of-options window if you want to reorder your list based on updated seat matrix information
  • 9 August: Check your seat allotment result the moment it’s live
  • 10–15 August: Complete self-joining online and report physically to your allotted college with all original documents — classes begin 10 August, so don’t delay
