AP PGECET final phase counselling begins, web options open till 17 October
The Andhra Pradesh PGECET 2026 final phase counselling began on 16 October for MTech, MPharmacy and PharmD (Post Baccalaureate) admissions for the 2026-27 academic year. Eligible candidates can exercise web options through cap.apcfss.in on 16 and 17 October, with option editing allowed until 10 pm on 18 October. Candidates must submit college and course preferences afresh, earlier first-phase choices will not be considered.
Those satisfied with their previous allotment need not participate, but any candidate seeking an upgrade who receives a new seat will lose their claim to the earlier one. GATE/GPAT-qualified candidates get preference, with remaining vacancies available to AP PGECET rank holders. Allotted candidates must complete online self-reporting and physical college reporting within the prescribed dates, or forfeit the allotment. Classes have already begun.
Indian Opinion Analysis
For the thousands of MTech, MPharmacy and PharmD aspirants who missed an allotment in the first phase, these five days are their last shot. The requirement to submit fresh choices means even a candidate who was offered a seat earlier can try for a better college, but doing so risks losing the original allotment if a new one is made. GATE and GPAT holders get first pick, limiting options for AP PGECET rank holders to the leftover vacancies. The final phase schedule runs up to 28 October, after which classes that have already started will leave late joiners playing catch-up. There will be no special-category verification this time.
