How the 2026 timeline played out
The 2026 cycle began on 3-4 February and ran into the counselling phase in July-August. Registration was extended once beyond the original 7 March date, which pushed late-fee windows to 10 April.
The result slipped from the originally planned 1 June to 1 July because APSCHE waited for Intermediate marks, including supplementary results, to compute the 25 percent weightage.
What to expect for 2027
- APSCHE normally releases the schedule between January and March, after the Intermediate exam dates are fixed.
- The exam is usually held in May, after the Intermediate public exams end.
- Counselling follows the result, typically from July.
- Always confirm on cets.apsche.ap.gov.in. Do not rely on third-party calendars.
