This page covers AP EAPCET 2027 expected dates, how to apply and log in, the fee, eligibility, the exam pattern and how ranks are made.

AP EAPCET 2027 Important Dates

APSCHE has not announced the AP EAPCET 2027 schedule yet, so the 2027 dates below are expected months based on the 2026 cycle, when the notification came on 3 February and the tests ran from 12 to 20 May 2026.

How to Apply for AP EAPCET 2027

You apply for AP EAPCET 2027 online only, on the official website, once the notification is out (expected February 2027). Payment of the registration fee is the first step; the form opens only after that. In 2026 the window ran from 4 February to 24 March without late fee.

1. Open the AP EAPCET website and choose the fee payment link for your stream: Engineering (E), Agriculture and Pharmacy (AP), or both.
2. Pay the registration fee online by credit card, debit card, net banking or AP Online, and note the payment reference ID.
3. Fill in the application form. Keep ready your Intermediate (qualifying exam) hall ticket number, SSC hall ticket number, date of birth, Aadhaar number, caste and income certificates, and the study or residence certificates that prove local status.
4. Choose your regional test centres and submit the form. The filled-in form shows your registration number.
5. Print the filled-in form. You must take it to the exam with a recent colour photo pasted on it and attested by a gazetted officer or your college principal.

Candidates who want both the Engineering and the Agriculture and Pharmacy tests should pick the “Both” option in one application, so that one test centre is allotted for both. More than one application for the same category can be rejected. A correction window followed the 2026 deadline, from 11 to 13 April 2026.

How to log in to the AP EAPCET 2027 candidate portal?

AP EAPCET has no single password login. Each service on the official website, such as printing the form, the hall ticket, the response sheet and the rank card, opens when you enter your registration number with a hall ticket number and, for most services, your date of birth.

1. Open the AP EAPCET website. The 2027 links will appear there when registration opens, expected in February 2027; the links live now are for AP EAPCET 2026.
2. Click the service you need, for example Print Application Form, Download Hall Ticket, Response Sheets or Download Rank Card.
3. Enter your registration number (the hall ticket page also accepts the payment reference ID).
4. Enter the second number the page asks for: your Intermediate (qualifying exam) hall ticket number before the test, or your EAPCET hall ticket number for the response sheet and rank card.
5. Enter your date of birth in dd/mm/yyyy format where asked, and submit to view and download the document.

Forgot your registration number? Use “Know Your Application Status” on the website: in 2026 it gave the registration number when you entered your payment reference ID, Intermediate hall ticket number, mobile number and date of birth. If you do not have the payment reference ID, “Know your payment status” shows it after you enter your Intermediate hall ticket number, mobile number, date of birth and stream.

Who can apply for AP EAPCET 2027?

You can apply for AP EAPCET 2027 if you have passed or are appearing in Intermediate (10+2) with the right subjects and meet the Andhra Pradesh local or non-local status rules. These conditions are from the 2026 instruction booklets; the 2027 booklets are expected with the notification.

• Nationality: Indian, or a Person of Indian Origin (PIO) or OCI card holder.
• Status: you must satisfy the local or non-local status rules in the Andhra Pradesh government orders for the admission year.
• Marks: at least 45% in the group subjects of the qualifying exam taken together (40% for reserved categories).
• Engineering stream (MPC): Intermediate with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, or a related vocational course with bridge course, or a diploma in engineering from SBTET Andhra Pradesh or an equivalent.
• Agriculture and Pharmacy stream (BiPC): Intermediate with Biology, Physics and Chemistry for B.Pharm, Pharm.D and B.Tech (Biotechnology); the booklet lists the accepted subject combinations for the agriculture courses.
• Final-year Intermediate or diploma students may apply, but the rank counts only if they pass.

Some courses have age limits. In 2026 the B.Tech (Dairy Technology, Agricultural Engineering, Food Science and Technology) and the agriculture-stream courses needed age 17 to 22 on 31 December 2026 (up to 25 for SC/ST), and Pharm.D needed age 17. B.Pharm had a minimum of 16 and no upper limit.

What is the AP EAPCET 2027 exam pattern?

AP EAPCET is a 3-hour computer-based test of 160 multiple-choice questions, each worth 1 mark, with no negative marking. The Engineering and the Agriculture and Pharmacy streams have separate papers. Each day has two sessions, 9 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM, and you cannot choose your session.

Questions are in English and Telugu; if a Telugu question is unclear, the English version counts. Candidates who studied in Urdu medium get translation help at the Kurnool centre only. Marks from different sessions are normalised, and the rank uses 75% of your normalised EAPCET marks and 25% of your Intermediate group-subject marks. The topic list is on the AP EAPCET syllabus page.

Which courses does AP EAPCET 2027 lead to?

AP EAPCET ranks are used for first-year admission to these professional courses in Andhra Pradesh colleges for the 2027-28 academic year.

Seats are filled through web counselling after the results. Your rank only makes you eligible to take part; it does not by itself give you a seat.
