What is the AP EdCET 2027 exam pattern?

AP EdCET is a 2-hour computer-based test of 150 multiple-choice questions, one mark each, with no negative marking. Parts A and B are common to everyone; Part C is the methodology you chose.

Physical Sciences is split into Physics 50 and Chemistry 50, Biological Sciences into Botany 50 and Zoology 50, and Social Studies into Geography 35, History 30, Civics 15 and Economics 20. The paper is in English and Telugu, except the English methodology; Urdu-medium candidates get an English and Urdu paper. See the AP EdCET syllabus for the topics.

In 2026 the test ran in two shifts on 8 May: Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, and Social Studies and English from 12:30 to 2:30 PM.

Which colleges and seats does AP EdCET cover?

AP EdCET ranks fill B.Ed and B.Ed Special Education seats in university, government, aided and private colleges of education in Andhra Pradesh. Seats are allotted through web counselling run by the Commissionerate of Higher Education on cap.apcfss.in, using your methodology-wise rank.

• Taking the test does not by itself give you a seat; you must also meet the degree and marks rules at admission.
• Your rank is valid only for admissions in that academic year.
• Candidates are ranked separately in each methodology, and seats are allotted methodology-wise.
