AP POLYCET 2026 – What Qualified Candidates Should Know
Candidates who have been allocated a seat in the Final Phase (Round 2) must complete a dual reporting process to confirm their admission. First, candidates must perform self-reporting online through the official polycetap.nic.in portal to formally accept the seat. Following this, they must physically report to their allotted polytechnic college with their allotment order and all original academic documents. The strict deadline for completing both online and physical reporting is 29 July 2026. Failure to report by this date will lead to the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.
At the time of physical reporting, candidates must carry multiple printed copies of their allotment order, the AP POLYCET 2026 Rank Card, Class 10th (SSC) marks memo, study certificates (Class IV to X), income certificate, and caste/category certificate (if applicable). Depending on the candidate's category and the allotted institution (government versus private), a stipulated tuition fee may be payable either online before downloading the allotment order or directly at the institution's administrative desk.
The final phase typically marks the conclusion of the regular centralized counselling process. However, for seats that remain unfilled after the final reporting deadline, individual polytechnic colleges may conduct Spot Admissions in August 2026. Candidates who were not allotted any seat, or those who missed the earlier counselling rounds entirely, can participate directly in these institutional spot rounds. Details regarding the spot admissions schedule will be hosted on the official portal.
