Correction window
APSCHE opens a correction window after the last date, as in 11-13 April 2026. Some fields such as the stream or name may not be editable. Fix errors during the window, because the hall ticket and rank card take data from the application.
Common mistakes
Wrong local-area details, mismatched date of birth, blurry signature, paying for the wrong stream and missing the late-fee deadline are the usual causes of trouble.
