The Andhra Pradesh Department of Higher Education has opened the AP POLYCET 2026 web option entry on polycet.ap.gov.in for candidates registered and verified for counselling. Using their date of birth and hall ticket number, candidates complete their college and course (diploma branch) selections by submitting and locking preferred options. The web option entry window runs from June 29 to July 3, 2026, with candidates required to finish option submission by the stated deadline. An option editing window is scheduled for July 4, 2026, allowing candidates to revise choices before the selections are final. Seat allotment results are expected to be released on July 6. Candidates who are allotted seats report to their assigned colleges between July 7 and July 10. The option entry forms part of the counselling process that includes multiple rounds; a tentative Round 2 web option entry is scheduled for July 2026, along with a corresponding option editing period, seat allotment result, and reporting schedule. Authorities ask candidates to check the official website for updates and detailed instructions.
