Step-by-Step AP ECET 2027 Application Process
AP ECET registration follows four official stages — unlike most exams, fee payment happens before form fill-up. Complete each stage in order:
- Visit the official portal — Go to cets.apsche.ap.gov.in and click the AP ECET 2027 application link once it is live.
- Pay the application fee first — Pay online via credit card, debit card, or net banking through the portal, or offline at an AP Online / TS Online centre. Note your payment reference number.
- Verify payment status — Log back in after a few minutes and confirm the payment status shows as successful before proceeding to form fill-up.
- Fill in personal details — Enter your full name, date of birth, gender, Aadhaar number, mobile number, email ID, address, and category (OC/BC/SC/ST).
- Fill in academic details — Provide your qualifying exam details: institution name, year of passing, total percentage, branch or specialisation, and your Class 10 hall ticket number.
- Select an exam centre — Choose your preferred AP ECET 2027 test city from the available list of centres in Andhra Pradesh.
- Upload documents — Upload a scanned passport-size photograph and your signature on white paper in the format and file size specified in the official notification. Blurry or oversized files are rejected.
- Preview and submit — Review all details on the preview screen, especially name spelling, date of birth, and branch. Click "Final Submit" to complete the application.
- Download the confirmation page — Save and print the application confirmation page. You will need it for admit card download and future reference.
If you spot an error after submitting, APSCHE typically opens a correction window in late March 2027. Changes to name and qualifying exam branch are generally not permitted even during this window.
