AP PGECET 2026 Phase 2 reporting deadline extended to 4 November

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has extended the deadline for candidates to report to their allotted colleges for the AP PGECET 2026 Phase 2 seat allotment. The new deadline for completing admission formalities, including online self-reporting and physical reporting to colleges, is November 4, 2026. This extension applies to all candidates who received a seat in the Phase 2 allotment, which was released on October 17, 2026.

The extension provides candidates an additional eleven days beyond the original reporting window of October 21 to October 24, 2026. This aims to offer more time for candidates to arrange funds, gather original documents, and complete any pending qualifying result marksheets, as stated by APSCHE. Admissions are for MTech, MPharm, ME, and MArch programmes in university engineering/pharmacy colleges and their affiliated colleges approved by AICTE.

AP PGECET 2026 Phase 2 Allotment and Reporting Process

The AP PGECET 2026 Phase 2 seat allotment was released on October 17, 2026, on the official counselling portal at cap.apcfss.in. Following the allotment, candidates were initially given a window from October 21 to October 24, 2026, to complete their admission process. This window has now been extended to November 4, 2026.

To confirm their admission, allotted candidates must first complete online self-reporting and pay the admission fee through the official portal. Later, they are required to report physically to their respective allotted colleges with all necessary original documents and two sets of self-attested photocopies. Candidates who fail to meet the November 4, 2026, deadline will forfeit their allotted seat. Any seats that remain vacant after this deadline will be carried forward to the final phase of counselling, for which a separate schedule will be announced on the official portal.

Required Documents for College Reporting

Candidates reporting to their allotted colleges must ensure they have a detailed set of documents, both original and two self-attested photocopy sets. These documents are crucial for verifying eligibility and confirming admission to the MTech, MPharm, ME, and MArch programmes. Failure to present the required documents may lead to the forfeiture of the allotted seat.

The list of essential documents includes academic records, counselling-specific papers, and identity proofs. Candidates must download their allotment order by logging in with their PGECET hall ticket number and date of birth on the counselling portal. The self-reporting payment receipt is also a mandatory document to be presented at the college.
