Initial Cutoff Trends in Phase 1 (2026 Data Analysis)

  • Computer Science & Engineering (CSE): In top state university campuses like JNTU Kakinada and JNTU Anantapur, Open Category closing ranks ranged within the top 4,500 ranks. Premium autonomous private colleges closed their CSE intake between ranks 8,000 and 18,000.  

  • Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE): Top private and autonomous engineering colleges recorded Open Category closing ranks between 12,000 and 28,000 in Phase 1.

Subsequent Counselling Phases: Phase 2, Phase 3 & Spot Admissions

If you were not allotted a seat in Phase 1 or wish to upgrade your allotted college/branch, you can participate in subsequent counselling rounds:

1. Second Phase (Final Phase) Web Counselling

  • Eligibility: Candidates who received no seat in Phase 1, candidates who accepted their Phase 1 seat but wish to slide to a higher preference, or candidates who missed Phase 1 web options.

  • Process: APSCHE publishes a revised vacant seat matrix. Candidates re-submit fresh web options. If upgraded to a new seat in Phase 2, the previous Phase 1 seat is automatically cancelled and re-allocated to another applicant.

2. Spot Round Admissions

  • Overview: After completing centralized online phases, individual participating colleges conduct institutional spot admissions to fill remaining vacant seats.

  • Guidelines: Spot admissions follow local merit orders. Candidates admitted through spot rounds are generally ineligible for government fee reimbursement schemes.
