The Andhra Pradesh Post Graduate Engineering Common Entrance Test (PGECET) 2026 counselling has opened online, with the schedule, eligibility criteria and reservation guidelines now available on the official portal.
The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education has launched the web‑based counselling for PGECET 2026. Candidates who qualified the entrance exam can now log in to the official portal to select their preferred postgraduate engineering programmes.
The counselling schedule lists a three‑day window starting today, during which applicants must verify their details, upload documents and submit programme choices. The portal will close on the final day, after which seat allocation will be processed based on merit and reservation norms.
Eligibility for the counselling round mirrors the exam requirements: candidates must hold a relevant undergraduate degree and have secured the minimum qualifying marks. The reservation framework follows the state’s policy, allocating seats for SC, ST, OBC, and economically weaker sections as per the latest government order.
Applicants are advised to keep their registration numbers, passwords and supporting certificates handy to avoid delays. The council has also posted a detailed FAQ on the website to address common queries regarding document verification and seat allotment.
The final merit list and seat allotment results will be published on the portal within a week after the counselling window closes, enabling successful candidates to proceed with admission formalities at their chosen institutions.
