When will the AP ICET 2026 Phase 2 counselling start?

The Phase 2 (final phase) registration and certificate verification for AP ICET 2026 is expected to commence in the third week of September 2026. The official schedule will be published on the APSCHE counseling portal.

Do I need to register again for Phase 2 if I already participated in Phase 1?

No. If you registered and completed your document verification successfully in Phase 1, you do not need to register or pay the processing fee again. You can directly log in to exercise fresh web options for Phase 2.

What happens to my Phase 1 seat if I participate in Phase 2?

If you exercise options in Phase 2 and are allotted a new college, your Phase 1 seat will be automatically cancelled and transferred to another candidate. If you do not get a new seat in Phase 2, your Phase 1 seat remains secure (provided you completed self-reporting and physical reporting earlier).

What are TS ICET spot admissions?

Spot admissions are institutional-level counseling rounds conducted by private unaided colleges in Telangana to fill any remaining vacant MBA and MCA seats after the final phase of central counseling concludes.

Can non-ICET qualified candidates apply for spot admissions?

Yes, candidates who did not appear or qualify for the ICET can participate in spot admissions based on their graduation marks, provided they meet the minimum aggregate percentage required (usually 50% for open category and 45% for reserved categories).
