AP ECET 2026 Result and Counselling Timeline

The AP ECET 2026 results were officially declared on May 7, 2026, with rank cards made active for candidates the following day, May 8, 2026.

AP ECET 2026 Registration and Verification Process

After completing new user registration, candidates must log in to the counselling portal using the username and password sent to their registered mobile number. Once logged in, they need to carefully verify personal and academic details, upload the required certificates, and complete the online payment of the counselling processing fee. The counselling fee is INR 600 for SC/ST category candidates and INR 1,200 for BC/OC category candidates. If any uploaded information is found incorrect, candidates should edit it before making the payment, since changes cannot be made afterward.

Documents Required for AP ECET Counselling

Candidates should keep the following documents ready in scanned format for the online verification process:

• Memorandum of marks and provisional diploma/degree certificate
• Study certificate (Class 7 to Diploma, or Class 9 to Degree for B.Sc Maths candidates)
• Residence certificate for the preceding seven years
• Category or special reservation certificates, where applicable

Uploading clear and valid scanned copies is essential, as incomplete or unclear documents may delay the verification process and affect a candidate's participation in web option entry.
