The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada, conducted the Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test 2026 from 12 to 20 May on behalf of the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education for the aspirants seeking admission for professional undergraduate (UG) degree programmes across government and private colleges of the state.
The APSCHE has officially confirmed that they will announce the result for this examination on June 18, 2026; we expect that they will declare the result probably by late evening. If you took part in it, you are recommended to be handy with the login credentials, which are the registration number and the hall ticket (admit card) number, because these are the credentials required to check the result.
To pass the examination, it is mandatory to get 25% marks in the examination if you belong to OC or BC. There’s no cap on minimum passing criteria for SC and ST candidates. All students who participated in the examination will get a state rank, based on their score in AP EAPCET 2026 and the annual/supply intermediate examination with a weighting of 75:25.
They will announce the result as a scorecard, and then you can check your score in mathematics or biology, physics, and chemistry; normalised marks; state-level merit rank; and result status, i.e., “Qualified” or “Not Qualified”. Once the outcome for the AP EAPCET 2026 is available on the official website, you can check it by going through the step-by-step instructions.
- Go to the official website of the Andhra Pradesh Common Entrance Tests at https://cets.apsche.ap.gov.in/.

- Tap on ‘Download Rankcard (Results)’ and go to the login page.
- Fill in your registration number and hall ticket (admit card) number, and click the View Result button.
If you belong to OC or BC and you failed to get at least 40 marks in the Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test 2026, you won’t pass the examination.
After the result of the AP EAPCET 2026, the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education will conduct the counselling. They are likely to start the admission process in July 2026. To participate in the same, you have to deposit ₹1,200 if you belong to the open category or backward class or only ₹600 if you belong to the scheduled caste or scheduled tribes.
The counselling for AP EAPCET 2026 consists of four stages: Registration & Processing Fee Payment, Certificate Verification, Web Options Entry (Choice Filling), and Seat Allotment & College Reporting.
Notably, the second stage takes place online for most of the candidates, but you have to visit in person at help-line centres if you belong to special categories such as NCC, sports, CAP, or PwD. The documents you need to participate in the online or in-person document verification are:
- AP EAPCET Hall Ticket & Rank Card
- 10th Class (SSC) Marks Memo
- 12th Class (Intermediate) Marks Memo
- Study Certificates (Classes 6 to 12)
- Transfer Certificate (TC)
- Aadhaar Card
- Caste Certificate (BC / SC / ST)
- Income Certificate/ White Rice Card
- EWS Certificate
- Special Quota Certificates (NCC / Sports / PH / CAP)
The APSCHE will conduct the counselling process in multiple rounds, giving an opportunity to all to participate in the admission process. They are expected to complete the process by the last week of August 2026.
