Candidates allotted engineering seats must complete both reporting formalities on the official portal at eapcet-sche.aptonline.in and at their designated colleges before the counter closes this evening.

Candidates and parents must strictly observe the final admission timeline announced by APSCHE:

Mandatory Dual Reporting Requirement & Forfeiture Rules
Aspirants must ensure full compliance with APSCHE admission directives to avoid seat forfeiture:
- Dual Reporting is Compulsory: Securing a seat requires completion of two interdependent steps: online self-reporting through candidate login to generate the Joining Report, followed by physical submission of original certificates at the allotted college. Completing only online reporting without physical college presence (or vice versa) results in automatic seat cancellation.
- Permanent Seat Forfeiture: Candidates who fail to submit their joining report and credentials by 5:00 PM today will lose their allotment permanently. Unclaimed seats will be surrendered to college managements for internal spot rounds.
- Cancellation of Earlier Phase Seats: For candidates whose seats were upgraded in the Final Phase, the earlier allotment from Phase 1 or Phase 2 was cancelled automatically upon generation of the Round 3 allotment. The earlier seat cannot be reclaimed.
- Jagananna Vidya Deevena (JVD) Fee Benefits: Eligible candidates eligible for full fee reimbursement under JVD must ensure their zero-tuition fee status is validated by submitting white ration cards and income certificates during reporting.
