Last Updated: June 2026
The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has postponed the release of AP EAPCET 2026 results, which were originally scheduled for June 1, 2026. The entrance examination is conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Kakinada, on behalf of APSCHE for admissions to Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy programmes offered by institutions across Andhra Pradesh.
According to updates issued by APSCHE and information released by education authorities, the delay is linked to the ongoing Intermediate supplementary and improvement examinations conducted by the Board of Intermediate Education Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP). Since Intermediate marks continue to form part of the AP EAPCET ranking process, authorities are awaiting the completion of evaluation and mark integration before publishing final ranks.
Verification Note: APSCHE has confirmed the postponement of results. A revised result date is yet to be formally notified.
Why AP EAPCET 2026 Results Have Been Delayed
Under the admission framework outlined in the AP EAPCET Information Bulletin, final ranks are prepared using a combination of AP EAPCET scores and Intermediate examination marks. The current formula assigns 75% weightage to entrance test scores and 25% weightage to qualifying examination performance.
As BIEAP is conducting supplementary and improvement examinations for Intermediate candidates, revised marks may affect rank calculations. APSCHE has therefore delayed the release of rank cards until updated academic records become available.
The move is expected to reduce the possibility of rank revisions after the counselling process begins.

Why the Delay Matters
AP EAPCET is the primary admission route for professional degree programmes in Andhra Pradesh. Changes in qualifying examination marks can influence merit positions, reservation eligibility and seat allotment outcomes.
By incorporating the latest Intermediate results before rank generation, authorities aim to ensure that admissions are processed using updated academic records.
