Overview
The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) will conduct AP EdCET Counselling 2026 for admission to B.Ed and B.Ed Special Education programmes offered by participating colleges across Andhra Pradesh. This is an admission process rather than a recruitment drive, so there are no posts or job vacancies; the total number of available seats will be announced through the college-wise seat matrix.
Candidates who qualify in AP EdCET 2026 must complete online registration, fee payment, certificate verification and web option entry to be considered for seat allotment. The detailed counselling notification and phase-wise schedule are expected after the declaration of the entrance examination result.
