The AP PGECET web options 2026 window will open on September 18 and remain available until September 24. This is the stage where eligible candidates select their preferred courses and colleges. Candidates should arrange options in their actual order of preference rather than selecting institutions randomly.

Candidates should therefore use the verification period to check the available programme and college choices before the web-option window closes.
