With AP EAMCET 2026 results on the horizon, the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) has issued a critical notice that every CBSE Improvement candidate must act on before June 27, 2026, 5:00 PM. Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Kakinada — the conducting body for AP EAPCET 2026 — has made the submission of Class 12 CBSE Improvement marks mandatory for these candidates to ensure accurate integration into the final AP EAPCET rank list.
Missing this deadline could directly affect your AP EAPCET 2026 rank. Here is everything you need to know.
The AP EAPCET rank list is not based on entrance test scores alone. The final merit rank is calculated using a combined formula that assigns 75% weightage to the AP EAPCET entrance exam score and 25% weightage to the candidate's qualifying examination (Class 12) marks. For Andhra Pradesh State Board (BIEAP) students, this data is automatically pulled from the official board database. However, for students from outside-state boards — CBSE, ICSE, and other recognised boards — the marks must be manually submitted through an online declaration process. The CBSE Improvement examination results are a special case since these marks may not yet be reflected in standard databases. APSCHE's notice specifically targets this group to prevent rank discrepancies or exclusions.
The deadline to submit the 10+2 CBSE Improvement Marks Declaration is June 27, 2026, 5:00 PM. Candidates who miss this window risk having their AP EAPCET 2026 rank calculated without the qualifying exam component, which could result in a significantly lower rank or errors in the final published list.
FAQ (In-Article): AP EAPCET 2026 CBSE Marks Declaration
Q: Who must submit the CBSE Improvement Marks Declaration for AP EAPCET 2026? Only qualified AP EAPCET 2026 candidates who appeared in the CBSE Class 12 Improvement Examination are required to submit this declaration. Regular CBSE and other board students who have not appeared for improvement exams should verify their status separately on the portal.
Q: What happens if I miss the June 27, 2026 deadline? Candidates who do not submit the declaration by 5:00 PM on June 27, 2026 may have their qualifying marks missing from the rank computation. This can adversely impact their AP EAPCET 2026 final rank and counselling eligibility.
Q: Are AP State Board (BIEAP) students required to submit this form? No. BIEAP students have their Class 12 marks auto-populated from the board's official database. This form is mandatory only for CBSE Improvement and other non-AP Board candidates.

The AP EAPCET 2026 rank is determined on the basis of the following formula:
Entrance Test Score: 75% weightage Class 12 (Qualifying Exam) Marks: 25% weightage
For Engineering candidates, the 25% qualifying marks component is calculated based on the aggregate of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics scores. Any discrepancy or missing marks submission from non-AP Board students directly affects this 25% component and therefore the final rank.
APSCHE and JNTU Kakinada have not yet announced a confirmed result date for AP EAPCET 2026. However, the mandate to synchronise CBSE Improvement marks before June 27 strongly indicates that the result declaration is imminent. Candidates should regularly check the official APSCHE portal and their registered email and mobile for updates.
