The AP EAMCET Counselling 2026 Phase 1 registration has gone live today, giving qualified candidates a direct route into engineering, agriculture and pharmacy programmes across participating colleges in Andhra Pradesh. Candidates who cleared the AP EAPCET 2026 examination can now complete the online counselling registration on the official portal, cap.apcfss.in, before the window closes. The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE), through the Commissionerate of Higher Education, is conducting the process, which moves through registration and fee payment, certificate verification, web options entry, seat allotment and final reporting at the allotted college.
Registration opened on July 20, 2026 and will remain active until July 29, 2026. Candidates are strongly advised to register early, keep scanned documents ready and lock their web options well before the deadline to avoid last-minute server load. Only registrations completed on the official CAP portal will be accepted.
The AP EAPCET 2026 Phase 1 counselling schedule is as follows:
| Counselling event | Date (2026) |
| Registration & processing fee payment | July 20 – July 29 |
| Certificate verification at help-line centres | July 22 – July 31 |
| Web options entry (choice filling) | July 25 – July 31 |
| Change of web options | August 1 |
| Phase 1 seat allotment result | August 6 |
| Reporting at allotted college | August 7 – August 13 |
| Commencement of classes | August 10 |
The counselling processing fee is ₹1,200 for OC and BC category candidates, and ₹600 for SC and ST category candidates. The fee is payable online during registration and is generally non-refundable, so candidates should complete payment only after confirming their details.

After successful registration, candidates must get their certificates verified online at the notified help-line centres, then proceed to web options entry, where they select and prioritise preferred colleges and courses based on their rank and category.
Keep the following ready before starting registration:

Class 10 (SSC) marks memo
Class 12 (Intermediate) marks memo
Transfer Certificate (TC)
Study/Residence certificate for local area proof
Income certificate (for fee reimbursement, if applicable)

Any additional certificate specified by the counselling authority
Once documents are verified, candidates exercise web options during the choice-filling window. Seats are then allotted on the basis of merit, rank, category, reservation norms and the preferences submitted. Candidates who are allotted a seat in the Phase 1 result on August 6 must complete online self-reporting and physically report to the allotted college within the notified window to confirm admission. Those who are not satisfied with their Phase 1 allotment can wait for subsequent counselling phases for the remaining seats.
Candidates should rely only on the official AP EAPCET counselling portal, cap.apcfss.in, for registration, web options, seat allotment results and reporting, and should ignore unofficial links to protect their personal and payment details.
