Overview
The Andhra Pradesh B.Arch Admissions authority is expected to publish the AP B.Arch 2026 tentative merit list online at cap.apcfss.in for candidates seeking admission to the five-year Bachelor of Architecture programme. This is an admission process rather than a recruitment drive, so there are no posts; the total number of available seats has not yet been announced and will depend on the participating architecture colleges.
Candidates included in the tentative merit list will be able to review their rank, qualifying examination details and entrance-test information. Any discrepancy should be reported within the correction or grievance period specified in the official schedule.
