The AP POLYCET include the candidate’s name, hall ticket number, subject-wise marks, total marks, rank, and result status. Students are advised to verify all printed details and report any discrepancies to SBTET directly. The rank card will be needed at the time of document verification at AP POLYCET helpline centres before web-based counselling registration.
Admission through this exam leads to diploma-level programmes — both engineering and non-engineering — at government, aided, and private polytechnic colleges across Andhra Pradesh. For specialised courses such as Hotel Management and Catering Technology and D. Pharmacy, the eligibility is Class 12 (10+2), and those students do not need to appear for POLYCET.
The seat allotment process under counselling will be conducted online. Once registered, candidates must lock their choices of college and course through option entry. Seat allotment letters can be downloaded by paying a fee of Rs 800. Students can also visit POLYCET helpline centres to complete option entry in person.
